Time as an Independent Variable

Faster Than Our Enemies: How TAIV™ Can Transform Pentagon Procurement

Time as an Independent Variable (TAIV™) offers a disciplined yet achievable solution to meets the demands of getting the warfighter what is needed, when it is needed. Building on the logic of Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV), TAIV™ reframes time-to-field as the hard constraint, not just a performance outcome. This mindset has powered innovation and market dominance in fast-paced commercial sectors. With no statutory changes required, TAIV™ can be implemented inside existing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) structures to accelerate delivery, reduce moral hazard, and improve acquisition outcomes for taxpayers and warfighters alike.
