What are "case" technical questions?

I have a first round (video call) with an EB for SA coming up, and I have heard it will be technical, but more "case" based and not straight out of the interview guides. What does this mean? Perhaps they will ask questions that could be applied to companies (i.e., "why would working capital be negative?")? Appreciate your help.
