PE Case study - Internship

In my upcoming internship interview, I'll be tasked with reviewing and discussing an investment memorandum. Given my limited prior experience in private equity, I'm keen on identifying the key elements to focus on. I am contemplating whether to prioritize aspects such as revenue streams, the resilience of the business model, and capex spending as a starting point for discussion. Alternatively, I'm considering the importance of emphasizing elements like market analysis. Could you guide me on which areas deserve more emphasis, considering my internship context and lack of prior private equity experience?
