I think it hinges on the two possible meanings of his first sentence. One interpretation is that he's building the model, with the goal being that the model, once ready, will help him limit his risk. The other one would be that the making itself is what helps him limit his risk because it forces him to stay at home. In the second case, the quality of the eventual result doesn't matter that much and it's more about having something to do instead of getting bored while sitting at home.
