Private Equity "Playbooks", "Best Practices", etc

Hi folks. It seems like a lot of private equity firms have internal value-creation playbooks, best practices, whatever you want to call them. I would really like to get my hands on one, even an old or anonymized one, not so much to steal ideas but rather get a sense of how detailed and practical they are. I'm familiar with all the main value creation drivers/initiatives, but I'm having a hard time imagining the level of detail that might be included in one of these playbooks / how transferable or practicable they really are. Anyone have anything they can share or know of any available examples?
