The answer is - there is none.

Unless - someone takes a stopwatch to time the run from brake release to a target IAS. B-52 crews did this, per my lunch mate. Of course, they had a surplus of crewmembers during TO roll.

It would be pretty easy to implement software to monitor this; the accelerometers in the IRS provide all the raw data you need.
