The theory that efficiency exists on a spectrum, not as a binary or absolute measure. The Theory of Efficiency Spectrum argues that there is no single point of "efficient" vs. "inefficient" but rather a continuous range of possibilities, with different positions on the spectrum representing different trade-offs, different values, different priorities. An intervention might be highly efficient at profit generation, moderately efficient at job creation, and completely inefficient at environmental protection—all on the same spectrum, all real. The theory calls for mapping where things fall on multiple efficiency spectra, rather than asking the simplistic binary question. It's the recognition that efficiency is not one thing but many, and that the question is not "is it efficient?" but "where on the efficiency spectrum does it fall, and by what measure?"
