Simplified Sustainability LP Reporting

Novata’s Data Bridge makes responding to LP’s sustainability data requests fast and repeatable.

  • AI-Powered Parsing: Data Bridge reads every row and tab of an LP’s request template and identifies what is a metric, what is context, what is a header, and what to skip.
  • Confident Mapping: A combination of statistical matching techniques and AI review connects each requested item to the right metric in your account.
  • Data Availability at a Glance: See immediately which mapped metrics have reported data behind them, so you know exactly where the gaps are.
  • Fund- or Portfolio-Level Rollups: Aggregate results at the fund level or across your full portfolio, with filters by fund, sector, and location. Customize your filters to include or exclude certain elements of your portfolio.
  • High-Fidelity Export: Get your response back in the LP’s original template, values placed exactly where they expect to find them.

How It Works

Upload Your LP Request

Data Bridge classifies each row as a metric, added context, a grouping, or something to exclude. Then, Novata AI begins parsing the file row by row and tab by tab.

Map and Review Your Data

Novata AI matching connects each row to the right metric in your account. You can confirm or adjust the mapping, and see right away whether you have reported ESG data behind each match. If you don’t have data for a suggested metric, swap in one you do (or leave blank).

Aggregate, Filter, and Export

Decide whether to report at the fund level or roll up across your full portfolio, with totals calculated automatically. Then, export your response in the LP’s original template, fully formatted and ready to send.

FAQ

What is Novata’s Data Bridge?

Data Bridge is Novata’s tool for responding to data questionnaires sent outside the Novata report request framework. Data Bridge parses the questionnaire, maps its rows to your metrics using a combination of statistical and AI-driven matching, and exports a completed response in the questionnaire’s original format.

A great use case for Data Bridge is responding to ESG LP reporting requests.

How does Data Bridge match data to an LP's request template?

Data Bridge combines a statistical approach (TF-IDF, which weighs how distinctive each piece of text is) with semantic matching and an AI reviewer, so it can connect requested items to the right metric even when templates use unfamiliar language or structure.

How accurate is the mapping?

Novata AI suggests a match with a confidence score; you have the flexibility to review and/or override any row.

What if I don't have data for a metric an LP is asking for?

Data Bridge flags data availability as part of the mapping step, so you can see immediately which requested metrics have reported data behind them and which don’t, before you commit to a response.

Can I report at the fund level or across my whole portfolio?

Yes. Data Bridge lets you aggregate at either level, with totals calculated automatically, and filter further by fund, sector, or location.

Will my export match the LP's original template?

Yes. Data Bridge preserves the formatting, layout, and structure of the file you received, placing each value exactly where the template expects it.
