TL;DR Insights

What TL;DR Insights does

TL;DR Insights is a Seattle-based boutique research and insights consultancy founded in 2020 that provides senior-level custom research services to enterprise and mid-market clients across both B2C and B2B sectors. The firm delivers project-based engagements priced by scope and complexity, structured around nine codified research playbooks spanning the product lifecycle (Feature Prioritization, Segmentation & Profiling, Pricing & Packaging, Brand & Product Positioning, Messaging, Habits & Practices, Concept Value Testing, Purchase Process, and Creative Testing). Its analytical toolkit includes MaxDiff Prioritization, Latent Class Clustering, Conjoint and Discrete Choice Modeling, Driver Modeling, Tree-Based Classifiers, Dimensional Reduction, Longitudinal Behavioral Tracking, Customer Lifetime Value analysis, Machine Learning integration, and Cost Constrained Optimization, supported by a proprietary CORE survey design methodology.

The core team is small — four named senior strategists (Tyler Tetz, Rich Bojanowski, Camille Whiting, Victoria Ferraro) averaging 10+ years of research experience, with additional contributors including a Vice President (Shawn Lin) and David Bruce — and operates a high-touch partnership model in which senior staff execute directly rather than delegating to junior account managers. Distribution is sales-led and primarily domestic (United States), driven by content marketing through the Insights Blog, downloadable Playbooks, workshops, LinkedIn presence, and direct email outreach to [email protected]. Revenue comes entirely from professional services fees on custom engagements, with no disclosed software product, subscription layer, or recurring revenue stream.

The firm discloses no external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity, and operates as a privately held LLC in Washington state. Beyond its commercial practice, TL;DR Insights maintains a nonprofit partnership with Rainier Scholars, donating a portion of project proceeds and delivering pro bono donor data analysis. The company holds no patents and is certified as GDPR- and CCPA-compliant, and the absence of revenue, funding, or headcount disclosures limits external verification of scale.
