Pimp my ride for dissertation defence on private firm valuation

Hey monkeys. Did a DCF/RV valuation of a middle-market mixed retailer for my M.Sc. dissertation, and played it by the book (think the usual cap. op. leases, bottom-up beta, comps and so on). Have to defend it for 45 min. in two days, and looking for interesting things to discuss (alternative methods/perspectives), that aren't the usual riskfree rate & opt. cap. structure, to make the presentation less generic (boring) for examiner, who's an MD at a BB (dont know why tf he's an examiner?!). You guys have any ideas of how to impress this dude?
