- highDDQ gap: Does the fund engage an independent auditor?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Governance). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.

- mediumA 70% preferred return is stated but no waterfall tier pays itKey economics declare a preferred return, yet none of the extracted distribution tiers reference a pref/hurdle or carry a threshold rate. A pref that lives only in the summary — not the distribution mechanics — may not be contractually enforceable.
- mediumDDQ gap: Does the fund use a third-party fund administrator?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Governance). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- mediumDDQ gap: What is the GP's capital commitment (skin in the game)?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Economics). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- lowWaterfall splits to the GP with no explicit return-of-capital tierA residual GP split is present but no extracted tier returns the LP's contributed capital first. This is often an extraction nuance rather than a structural hole, but worth confirming against the distribution section.
