Is there a document/book you can recommend that includes a simplified example/tutorial of this computation process from beginning to end? (Or, what are the right keywords to search for such a thing?)

I'm looking for something like: here's the particle interaction we will work on, this is a very simple Feynman diagram, and here's the simplified data the LHC gave us about it, here's the resulting equation from which we'll derive a series, etc.

Not looking for how to program it, but actually for seeing the problem structure, and the solution design from beginning to end. (Familiar with high level physics concepts, and comfortable with any math).

I like Peskin's Introduction to QFT, but Zee's QFT in a Nutshell is also good.
