NEED HELP WITH INTERVIEW ASAP

I would genuinely appreciate any help/advice here as I'm totally lost & have no idea what tf to do. I have another interview tomorrow with someone from an EB and he asked me to prepare a valuation model for the interview. I started preparing last week but I was struck with covid so I couldn't do anything, the symptoms were severe in my case.

Now the interview is tomorrow and I don't know where to start. Not even sure if it's doable. I need to get it together to make something but I don't know where to start. I haven't made any super complex/sophisticated models before, though I can do things like 3 statements model & DCF. Any tips on where to start, which company to use, how to even finish the model etc???

Appreciate your help in advance.

“Working with Adam was an absolute pleasure. I was paired with him to prepare for a Renewable Energy Project Finance modelling test. He admitted that he was quite rusty in the space and did not know if he could provide significant value. However, this turned into the best WSO Mentor Session I've had by far. Adam was extremely helpful, kind and uplifting. He was able to find a previous, real model he had worked on, and we went through it together. It was incredibly helpful to have seen a real Project Finance model. He dove through it line-by-line - inputs, assumptions, debt financing, etc. We also started the call from a very high-level, discussing Revenues, Sources & Uses of Cash and Debt Financing in Project Finance. Overall, the call felt more like a conversation with an incredibly-helpful peer who was cheering me on. He also provided actionable takeaways following the call, and sent over additional resources to help me prepare. I will absolutely be sure to work with Adam again in the future!”

“He was very thorough in his feedback and gave sample ways to answer each question so that I could better understand the framework, what points I should emphasize, and how to structure my ideas clearly and concisely. Rather than simply telling me what to change, he explained the reasoning behind his suggestions, which helped me understand how to approach similar questions on my own. He also took the time to really understand my background and the story I wanted to tell, and then helped me weave those experiences into my answer.”
