Yes as a reply to the first sentence. So" is a placeholder for the price.

I'm sorry, would you please help me once again?
- His plan is not so much ambitious.
Does the above sentence mean either 1 or 2 according to context? and for this reason that the sentence sounds ambiguous, does the above sentence make no sense without further context?
1. His plan is not that much ambitious.
(When comparing plans)
2. His plan is not very much ambitious.
(When just emphasizing the work "ambitious")

@Gold1 There is no reference to an other plan to compare to. So we can only say that the speaker doesn't find his plan ambitious., according to their own opinion/experience.

So without further context, to you, the sentence means only 2?
By the way, does the sentence sound natural?

@Gold1 It's not grammatically wrong. It is uncommonly worded.
"His plan is not very ambitious."
