💰 Development Cost Estimation

COCOMO Model Analysis

Using the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) for organic software development:

Effort Calculation:

  • Total Source Lines of Code: 13,489 (Python) + 7,295 (Notebooks) = 20,784 SLOC
  • Effective SLOC (excluding comments/blanks, ~70%): ~14,550 SLOC
  • COCOMO Effort (Person-Months): 6.5 PM
    • Formula: 2.4 × (KSLOC)^1.05 = 2.4 × (14.55)^1.05 ≈ 6.5 PM

Cost Breakdown:

Component Effort (PM) Cost @ $150/hr Cost @ $200/hr
Core Development 4.0 $72,000 $96,000
Testing & QA 1.0 $18,000 $24,000
Documentation 1.0 $18,000 $24,000
Integration & Deployment 0.5 $9,000 $12,000
Project Management (20%) 1.3 $23,400 $31,200
TOTAL 7.8 PM $140,400 $187,200

Estimated Range: $125,000 - $175,000 USD (assuming 160 hours/person-month)
