The dimension time cost model (DTC) 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, mass, 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).
