# Lead time & Cost

Each project is subject to individual estimation, but from the experience of past projects, the average timeline looks as follows:

* Big Combo Audit:

More than 3000 sloc\* / 4+ weeks (including triage and reaudit)

* Medium Combo Audit:

Up to 3000 sloc / 3 weeks (including triage and reaudit)

* Small Combo Audit :

Up to 1000 sloc / 2 weeks (including triage and reaudit)

* Diff audit:

100 - 1000 sloc / up to 1 week. 

\*sloc (Source lines of code ) - number of lines of code without comments and blanks.

The following items are taken into account when pricing an audit contest:

* Bounty fund for the community of solo auditors
* Lead auditor fee for interim audit, triage, re-audit, final report issuance
