Observer much more than Visitor, I'd say. You can probably perform RM
just using observability. Of course it depends on the methodology you're
using; but keeping a set of handles for the market observables, passing
them to the instruments/pricing engines, relinking them to new data
and/or scenarios, and asking the instruments for new prices should do
the trick.
