Activist Pitch?

I previously emailed an alum at an activist fund (known, but not well known) with a couple quick ideas, and now I've got an introductory call with one of the analysts there. My idea was a distressed equity (but rallied a lot since I sent the idea). The equity is now more of a break up play. What sort of things would this guy want to hear? I assume the general valuation considerations "I think this segment could be bought by company x for $y millions"?
