What this question tests

Product sense on a marketplace problem: identifying trust gaps in rental housing and how Meta's social graph could help.

How to approach it

  1. Confirm the user: renters searching for housing, or landlords listing units, and pick a primary focus.
  2. Identify the core pain point in rental search today: scams, stale listings, and no trusted reviews.
  3. Propose how Meta's asset helps, such as showing mutual friends who lived in a building or verified landlord identity.
  4. Sketch the core flow: search, filter, message the landlord, and see social trust signals.
  5. Define success as verified listings created or messages that lead to a viewing.
