SagePrint full timeline & work hours

Rechecked against the real repository log — not a guess. The first recorded commit is March 30, 2026; the release stack lands August 11, 2026. That is 6 calendar months of activity and about 4.5 months of continuous build (135 days from first to last commit).

Live website GitHub main
Honest source of truth: hours below are estimated from git activity (commit timestamps, active days, and volume). Git does not record meetings, design sessions, client calls, image generation waits, or deploy babysitting without commits. If work happened before the first commit (discovery, quotes, brand planning), it is not in this log — only activity inside this repository is counted.

Work effort (estimated)

Three models were calculated from the same 449 commits / 43 active days. The recommended range for client presentation is the middle band: serious professional delivery, not inflated “agency list prices.”

~320 h Activity model (commit-day spans + overhead) Conservative engineering log
~380–420 h Blended (activity + ~50–55 min avg per commit) Recommended client figure
~450–670 h If each commit ≈ 1–1.5 h including review/QA Upper bound only

Peak single days in the log: Aug 6 (76 commits), Aug 10 (29), Apr 25 (27), Apr 22 (25), Apr 20 (24) — multi-hour continuous sessions, including late evenings (heavy activity ~10:00–18:00 and ~22:00–23:00).
