PE Research Intern "Case Study Interview", what could it be?

I have a 45min interview with a PE fund in two weeks for a "Research Intern" position. The position consists of doing a bunch of market research and sourcing investment ideas to a panel. I was told part of this interview is a case study, but I am struggling to imagine what it could consist of. Any ideas/recommendations?
