Unified Time Scaling for Temporal Coordination Frameworks
RFC 9759, “Unified Time Scaling for Temporal Coordination Frameworks”, is an Informational document published in April 2025 by K. Kuhns. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Estimating time requirements for tasks, both critical and mundane, remains a challenge in engineering, business, and everyday communication. Existing models fail due to inherent unpredictability and inconsistencies in human estimation. This document introduces the Two-Week Principle (TWP), a novel, universally adaptable time scale that seeks to standardize all temporal references to a singular, uniform duration. TWP ensures clarity, predictability, and synchronization across all sectors that rely on time-based scheduling.
