The TPT Story

The TPT Story

This is our story…

Founded in 2023 by Daniel Serrano, The Psychometrics Team aims to emphasize quality and efficiency.

The idea behind TPT was to disrupt the current consulting paradigm. Private equity has consolidated several speciality and boutique COA practices and as such this drives up costs and drives down quality.

Here at TPT, we focus on the research and love what we do!

Our team is focused on working with clients to identify and deliver an optimal COA strategy that meets their specific research need and key milestones.

Collaboration

We view our clients as research partners and seek to be the same for them. Our aim is to foster collaboration with all project stakeholders. We understand that our clients often work as part of a wider team within their organization, and as such this is reflected within our approach throughout the project lifecycle.

Thoughtful

One size does not fit all. Not every psychometric validation study is the same. We understand that each research project will have unique challenges or considerations (e.g., study design, sample size, natural history of disease, missing data) and have the expertise to rise and meet these challenges to yield the needed solutions. We believe in practice first principles in all that we do.
