How to estimate what a codebase cost to build?▼
Open Claude Code in the project and run /cost-estimate. It measures lines of code, applies market rates, and cross-checks four estimation methods to produce a defensible cost range.
Does the estimate equal my codebase's market value?▼
No. It reports the replacement cost to rebuild with a human team, which is different from market value or what you actually spent. The report states this distinction clearly.
Can it measure Claude or Copilot ROI on a repo?▼
Yes. It reads real token usage from session logs and git history to compute speed multipliers, cost savings, and value per hour compared to a human team.
Do I need extra tools to run the cost estimate?▼
No. It works out of the box, though installing cloc, tokei, or scc gives faster and more accurate line counts.
