≈ 7.8M tokens across 16 modules
How this is calculated
Every module is priced by the AI tokens it takes to build: an estimate of the work an AI coding agent does reading, writing, testing, and fixing that feature. Those tokens are multiplied by one flat rate.
tokens × $1,500 / million = price
The rate is based on Claude Fable 5 token pricing plus the engineering to ship production-ready code: integration, testing, review, and deployment. A 2k-token buffer is added per module.
