I have been using Tetenal Colortec C41 for several years and now, fortunately, its successor, ADOX C-TEC 41. The development times for this developer are specified for 30°C and 38°C. However, no temperature curve is provided to show the relationship between temperature and development time. With the two given points, it is not possible to interpolate a temperature curve, and a linear progression is not useful.
For the CineStill C41, a table with 7 temperature points is provided, from which a usable curve can be determined. However, the times for the CineStill C41 process do not match the two times for the C-TEC 41, so adapting this curve for the C-TEC 41 does not seem practical.
I work with can development and could use a temperature curve to determine the compensation times for cooling during development without having to use a water bath.
There must be a corresponding table for the VINTAGE VISUAL AGO film/paper processor, as the unit features automatic temperature compensation.
Is there a published temperature-development time curve or table for the ADOX C-TEC 41 developer?

If Tetenal provided a temperature curve like that, it should apply to the C-Tec Kit as well.
I wouldn’t work without a water bath. It always ends up being inaccurate. And with a cheap sous vide stick, it’s very easy to maintain the exact temperature.
