What this question tests

Product sense for entering an adjacent category: identifying a real user pain point and connecting it to Meta's existing strengths.

Pick a specific user segment, for example young adults on Instagram or Messenger managing shared expenses with friends.
Identify their core pain point, such as tracking who owes what after group spending or splitting bills.
Prioritize the single highest value problem to solve first rather than building a full finance suite.
Propose a lightweight solution, like a shared expense tracker integrated into group chats, leveraging Meta's social graph.
Define a success metric, such as weekly active groups using the split feature or reduction in payment disputes.

Anchors the product in Meta's unique advantage, the social graph and messaging surface, rather than competing head on with Mint or banks.
Scopes tightly to one wedge, like splitting and tracking shared expenses among friends, before mentioning budgeting or investing.
Names a concrete metric, for example 20% of active group chats using the feature monthly, and flags trust and data privacy as a risk to address.

Designing a generic budgeting app that ignores Meta's social distribution advantage.
Listing many features without picking one to prioritize first.
