Have a case study on a performing credit shop, how should I tackle?

Case study round for a liquid credit shop, will be given a name and decide on buy/sell. Wonder how should I approach it? 

I am thinking the below — apparently will have the company/industry overview, key credit highlights/investment rationale all those stuffs but wondering if I am missing anything too 

  1. Three statement model and projection (do I really need all three statements?) 
  2. FCF paydown 
  3. Debt comparables (trading, cap structure?)
