It converts future uncertainty into a current deterministic price, serving as a foundational tool for risk management.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

Pricing under uncertainty. It converts future uncertainty into a current deterministic price, serving as a foundational tool for risk management.
Anchor fast decisions
Under assumptions of no arbitrage, geometric Brownian motion, and frictionless markets, it provides a partial differential equation solution for European option prices. The core is replicating the option with a combination of the stock and a risk-free bond, thereby using hedging to eliminate risk.
