Citadel case study, how do I prep?

What to expect in a Citadel case study? Have progressed to this stage at Citadel (I'm one of a number of folks looking to join this team) but I really like the team (I've met the other guys on the team) and want to do my best on this. I will supposedly get a case study next. What to expect? How can I prep the best for this? 

P.S Sector is the same as my industry coverage right now.
