Blueprint Intelligence / Data Room and DDQ / Explaining your diversity data and practices
Data Room and DDQ
A useful response connects the data with the practices behind it. Define what you measure, respect privacy and distinguish current results from goals.
When an LP asks for diversity information, check the requested categories, reporting period and privacy requirements. Supply supported team data and explain the firm’s relevant practices. A statement of values answers a different question from a completed data request.
ILPA and ILPA DDQ are marks of the Institutional Limited Partners Association. Blueprint is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by ILPA.
Report team composition using clear categories and consistent definitions where lawful and appropriate. Explain the period covered, missing information and any limits on disclosure. Ask the LP how to handle data you do not collect or cannot share rather than guessing or treating an empty field as zero.
Where the request calls for a history, use comparable periods to show what has changed. A current snapshot alone cannot show a trajectory. Label the dates and any changes in definitions so the reader can interpret the comparison.
In White Paper I, funds with a woman GP on the founding team have raw mean IRR of 14.99%, versus 13.41% for the comparison group. That IRR difference is not statistically significant (p=.442). The raw RVPI difference is about 0.21x and is statistically significant (p=.009). These descriptive comparisons do not establish a causal or adjusted performance advantage.

The study and supplied tables support the research statements above. The September 2026 editorial review clarified descriptive findings and their limits; it did not change the paper, rerun the data or validate a fund’s future returns.
