Time to execution

"By establishing a protocol for effective planning, our solution drastically reduces your time to execution"

When I say "time to execution," I'm referring to the time it takes to finish a plan. Does the sentence effectively convey this meaning?
  

Top answer

I don't think it does. " "Execution" is usually an event, but it signifies the beginning of a course of action, not the end. If it referred to the detonation of a bomb, it wouldn't make much difference.

  • If it referred to the detonation of a bomb, it wouldn't make much difference.
  • "Time to execution" indicates the time between now and the start of the procedure.
  • "The time of execution" might refer to the duration of the action, which I believe is what you mean, but it's still not the right phrase for your application, in my opinion.
