In a recently published work we provide a proof-of-concept of a novel method to extract the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient from color-electric correlators on the lattice using gradient flow. The transport coefficient can be found in the infrared limit of the corresponding spectral function which is reconstructed through perturbative model fits of the correlator data. In this proceedings report we want to give more detailed insights into the systematic uncertainties of this procedure and compare our results with other studies.
