What this question tests

Product design for a trust-sensitive category: building a fundraising product from scratch with fraud and trust as core constraints.

Clarify the user: individuals raising money for personal causes versus nonprofits raising for organizational causes, pick one focus.
Identify the core need: an easy way to start a fundraiser and a trustworthy way for friends to give.
Design the core flow: create a campaign with a story and goal, share via News Feed, and donate in-app.
Address trust and fraud explicitly, such as identity verification for organizers and transparent fund disbursement.
Define success as funds raised per campaign and donor repeat-giving rate.

Treats trust and fraud prevention as core to the design, not an afterthought, given the sensitivity of fundraising.
Leverages Facebook's social graph for organic sharing and social proof, a real platform advantage.
Proposes a concrete verification mechanism, like linking to a bank account or ID check before funds are released.
Uses an assumed metric, e.g. average campaign reaching 60 percent of its goal within 30 days.

Ignoring fraud and trust, which is the single biggest risk in a fundraising product.
Designing a generic crowdfunding clone with no Facebook-specific distribution advantage.
Not addressing how funds actually get to the recipient.
