it's just math. Work out how many "hits to kill" you want the
monster to stand up to, what variance you'll allow, plug in the PC's
numbers, and out pops the desired AC and HP.

I have doubts about how well this will work, because it can't really
take synergy into account (unless the formulae are incredibly
complex). For example, Flight or Fast Healing adds a heckuva lot more
to an archer than it does to a tank.
