Deal Discussion in PE Interviews

How do you most effectively walk through your deals during an interview? I’m often times unsure how much time to spend talking about different aspects of the transaction / how much detail to go into from the beginning. Does anyone have a template or guide they typically follow? 
 

Any suggestions or links to existing posts that cover this would be appreciated
