How do Private Credit Investment Memos differ from Private Equity Investment memos?

Obviously I know credit is much more focused on downside protection, durability of cash flows etc. and less focused on operational levers or transformational upside but are there any things that PC investors specifically focus on that might not be obvious from the perspective of someone in private equity?
