Project Cost Estimation

Scan the codebase and estimate development cost at market rates:

Analyze

  1. Count lines of code by language
  2. Identify frameworks and libraries used
  3. Count API endpoints
  4. Count database tables/models
  5. Identify external integrations
  6. Assess UI complexity (screens, components)

Calculate

  • Junior developer: $30-50/hr
  • Senior developer: $80-150/hr
  • Estimated hours per component
  • Total cost range (min-max)
  • Estimated timeline with team of 3

Output

PROJECT: [name]
TOTAL LINES: N
LANGUAGES: [list]
COMPLEXITY: low/medium/high

ESTIMATED COST (without AI): $X - $Y
ESTIMATED TIME (team of 3): X-Y months
ACTUAL TIME (with GODMODE): X days/weeks

ROI: [percentage savings]
