You would need to start 2 identical projects, counting time to debug and runtime programmer mistakes found in plain js, Vs total time to build, debug and programmer mistakes in something like typescript in the strictest style. The projects would need to be simple to multiply that by lines of code to get an average payoff of a forecasted project size X. Take it further by calculating employee wage over time. Unfortunately this experiment doesn't account for programmer skill and diligence.
