CCM is a Rust-based code counter and change-impact analyzer that goes beyond line counts to estimate AI-assisted development costs by modeling token usage, sandbox sessions, and human review effort. It offers fast scanning of large codebases, multiple output formats, and a transparent, editable cost model, making it useful for teams tracking AI-augmented workflows.
