This project was developed by a human directing
[Claude](https://claude.ai) (Anthropic's AI assistant) across multiple
conversations. The methodology was applied to itself: we estimate the
project consumed ~$2,500-10,000 in compute, ~500-2,500 Wh of energy,
and ~150-800g of CO2 across all sessions. Whether it produces enough
project consumed ~$500-1,000 in compute, ~500-2,500 Wh of energy,
and ~150-800g of CO2 across all sessions (3 tracked sessions account
for ~295 Wh, ~95g CO2, ~$98). Whether it produces enough
value to justify those costs is [an open question we are tracking](plans/measure-project-impact.md).
