Project Cost Estimation
Scan the codebase and estimate development cost at market rates:
Analyze
- Count lines of code by language
- Identify frameworks and libraries used
- Count API endpoints
- Count database tables/models
- Identify external integrations
- 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]
