Rules of thumb, not measurements: one man-year rebuilds about 10,000 lines of main code (design, testing and coordination included), and keeping a code base alive takes about 15% of its rebuild value per year (20 man-years of rebuild value need about 3 man-years of maintenance every year). The starting values come from this repository's configuration. Your changes are remembered in this browser for every report.

Ease of change*

How easily the code can be understood and changed, from 0 to 10. Other things equal, less code is easier and cheaper to change, for people and for agents. Both ratings weigh the same sub-scores: people struggle most with complex logic and knowledge held by few; agents pay for every line they read, copy duplicates and need tests to check their work. The total is a weighted geometric mean; above the weakest code sub-score + 4 only half of it counts, so one weak spot is not averaged away. Sub-scores are ordered by drag, how much the uncapped mean would rise if that sub-score were 10; click one to see why it matters. * A heuristic: compare repositories rather than read it as absolute. Set weights, or your own framework, in analysis.maintainabilityScores.

Human5.6ABCDE

Measured on 4 of 10 sub-scores (not measured: Unit size, Unit complexity, File complexity, Change entropy, Context per change, Knowledge spread).

Held down by Tests presence: above its score + 4, half counts.

Tests presence1.0×0.75−3.9no test code
For people: A test suite documents the intended behaviour and makes changes safe. Counted is whether there is one of reasonable size, not its coverage.
For AI agents: Tests let an agent check its own work; without them its mistakes surface later, in review or in production.
Volume10.0×128 lines of main code
For people: More code is more to learn, search and keep in mind; onboarding and judging a change's impact slow down as it grows.
For AI agents: An agent sees only a slice at a time: the bigger the code base, the more it searches, and the likelier it misses relevant code or rewrites an existing helper.
Duplication10.0×10% of main code duplicated
For people: A fix in one copy must be repeated in all the others; a missed copy becomes a bug.
For AI agents: Agents copy the patterns they find, so duplicates multiply; a change to one copy misses the others, and every copy costs context.
File size10.0×0.750% of main code in files > 500 lines
For people: Large files are hard to navigate, mix responsibilities and attract merge conflicts.
For AI agents: Agents read whole files into their context: every change to a large file costs many tokens and crowds out other relevant code.

Standard analyses:
		Main Code: 28 LOC (1 files) = SC (100%) Secondary code: Test: 0 LOC (0); Generated: 0 LOC (0); Build & Deploy: 0 LOC (0); Other: 0 LOC (0);
		Duplication: 0%
		File Size: 0% long (>1000 LOC), 100% short (<= 200 LOC)
		Logical Component Decomposition: primary (1 component)
		Goals: Keep the system simple and easy to change (4)
