To be clear, I'm not a programmer, but... Wouldn't you expect LOC shipped to go down as level of impact (eg, size of customer base) goes up? 100 lines on GMail has a lot more impact than 100 lines on a homegrown accounts receivable engine for a small business. Feels like it should be (LOC * weekly_executions) at least. And that's before we get into the efficiency of the code.
