I usually start with, "So, do you want to learn more about this?"
Oh they're not getting a choice.
I went from that to asking what level of depth they want to just giving the most concise answer I can and adding, "But there's a lot of interesting nuance I'm leaving out." Then if they ask for more, I give my dissertation.
