I started with market size and TAM stuff which felt safe, but then I blanked a bit on the operational side.
Start by clarifying the goal and constraints of the launch, then structure your answer around a data-driven framework that covers market potential, competitive landscape, operational feasibility, and financial projections. Emphasize how you would prioritize metrics and make a recommendation based on a clear go/no-go threshold.
Pro tip: Show that you understand the difference between leading and lagging indicators, and propose a small-scale pilot or experiment to validate assumptions before a full launch. This demonstrates a test-and-learn mindset that Meta values.
Ask questions to understand the company's goals for expansion (e.g., user growth, revenue, strategic positioning) and any constraints (budget, timeline, regulatory). This ensures your analysis is aligned with business priorities.
Evaluate the addressable market size, growth trends, and user demographics. Look at metrics like population, smartphone penetration, internet usage, and existing demand for similar products.
Identify key competitors, their market share, strengths, and weaknesses. Consider barriers to entry and differentiation opportunities for your product.
Examine logistical factors such as infrastructure, talent availability, regulatory environment, and cost of operations. Determine if you can deliver the product effectively in the new city.
Estimate costs (e.g., marketing, operations, hiring) and potential revenue. Use scenario analysis to understand best-case, worst-case, and most likely outcomes, and define a go/no-go threshold.
