cost-estimate

To estimate development cost from a codebase, you calculate categorized line counts and apply coding productivity rates, overhead multipliers, and market rates by role. This provides a comprehensive cost analysis for project budgeting.

Yes, you can calculate project budgeting costs for a specific git branch diff or single commit. The cost estimation supports analyzing the entire codebase, branch diffs, or individual commits to determine development scope accurately.

AI-assisted development ROI analysis evaluates the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of using AI like Claude for development tasks. It works by comparing calculated codebase development costs against AI-assisted productivity rates and market rates by role.

Yes, you need pypdf, pdfplumber, pdf2image, and gitpython to parse and process codebase data for cost estimation. These dependencies are required for extracting categorized line counts and analyzing repository scope accurately.

The best way to integrate market rates by role into codebase analysis is by applying role-specific rates and overhead multipliers to categorized line counts. This calculates accurate development cost estimates based on company stage and productivity.
