Comparing PE Fund Performances

Hi all! First thread on WSO for me.

Currently interning and at a "mental block", or just the fact I'm inexperienced.

Given the TVPI, DPI, Net IRR, called %, and vintage year (can also pull PME, but little/none underlying cash flow data, etc.), how would you all go about a creative way comparing PE fund performances for a deck? Other than the simple column charts (Fund 1, Fund 2, Fund 3 etc. showing those stats straight up, etc...)

I feel like I've compared it to the best of my ability with what was given, but I figured I'd ask here to see what creative ways the community has seen/done before and really liked. I've browsed the web through thick & thin, and it's just hard to see examples of past decks etc. since... well it's PE, and fund performances are so controversial.

Thanks in advance!!
