What this question tests

Product design for a home services problem, checking you find a specific trust or discovery gap rather than another generic marketplace.

Clarify scope, whether this is within Facebook Marketplace or a standalone feature, and confirm the target user, homeowners needing repairs versus service providers seeking work.
List pain points: difficulty finding trustworthy, vetted contractors quickly, unclear pricing before committing, and no easy way to verify quality of past work.
Identify Meta's advantage, its social graph, which could surface contractor recommendations from friends or local community groups rather than anonymous reviews.
Propose the design: a home repair request feature within Marketplace or Groups that surfaces contractors vouched for by a user's own network or local community, alongside transparent quote requests.
Prioritize the trust and social-proof angle first, since anonymous contractor marketplaces already exist and trust is the sharper unsolved problem.
Define success as completed repair bookings and homeowner-reported trust or satisfaction, confirming scope on whether payment processing is included.

Leverages Meta's social graph explicitly, surfacing contractors trusted by a user's own network or local Groups, differentiating from anonymous review-based marketplaces like Angi.
Names trust and quality verification as the sharpest unsolved pain point in home repair services broadly.
Proposes a concrete mechanism, a request-a-quote flow tied to social-proof signals from local community members, grounded in an existing Meta surface.
Sets a measurable success metric, completed booking rate and homeowner satisfaction, tied to the trust problem specifically.

Building a generic contractor marketplace duplicating existing services like Angi or Thumbtack with no real differentiation.
Not leveraging Meta's social graph as the actual advantage available.
Ignoring trust and quality verification, which is the core unsolved problem in this space.

How would you handle disputes if a contractor's work didn't meet expectations?
How would you incentivize enough contractors to join and make the marketplace liquid?
