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
