What this question tests

Whether the candidate can find a defensible niche for a new product within an existing social platform rather than cloning Strava or Peloton.

How to approach it

  1. Pick a segment: casual exercisers who want social accountability, not competitive athletes already served well by Strava.
  2. Name the pain point: motivation and consistency drop off without visible social support, and generic fitness apps feel isolating.
  3. Prioritize a social angle unique to Facebook: friend groups and community-based challenges tied to existing Facebook Groups and Events.
  4. Propose a focused feature, such as shared step or workout challenges visible in a user's existing friend groups, not a full fitness tracking suite.
  5. Define success as weekly active participation in challenges and retention lift among participants versus non-participants.
