Case Study Question for PM Analyst Interview

I have a final round interview next week for an analyst role on a portfolio management team. I was given guidance by the director that there would be a case question during the interview that wasn't RE related, but rather a question that will test my "analytical thinking" (30 min duration). I know this is incredibly vague, but does anyone have some input on how to prepare or thoughts/experience on questions like this that test analytical thinking rather than CRE knowledge. Maybe it'll be one of those cringy "unexpected IB interview" questions that WSO posts on their instagram lol.  Any feedback or suggestions would be super helpful.
