Dimension Time Cost model explained

The Dimension Time Cost (DTC) model is a creative problem-solving technique that analyzes a problem by maximizing its possible characteristics.[1] [2] Dimension can also encompass other physical characteristics such as temperature, brightness, weight, etc. The DTC model encouragaes creativity by reviewing a system at its potential minimal and maximal points.[3]

The approach is based on the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ).
