Overview

Microbe selection, without the guesswork.

The Sea Wolf Solver recreates the McKinsey Solve “Sea Wolf” ecosystem game in a guided four-step flow. You classify microbes across the three contamination sites, routing each one with the site’s fit rules and the Scientist’s insight — then pick the strongest possible trio.

Every keeper / send-to-Site-2 / reject decision is checked against the exact fit-range table, so you learn the rule and see the reasoning, not just the answer.

• ✓ Guided 4-step flow Profile, Categorise, Prospects and Final selection mirror the real game exactly.
• ✓ Fit-rule engine Each routing decision is validated against the precise range table and the Insight.
• ✓ Best-trio picker The final step always proposes the highest-possible trio — never a dead end.
• ✓ Attribute sliders Adjust attributes and watch routing outcomes update instantly.
• ✓ Solves in your browser Your solves run in your browser and save to your account.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How close is the Sea Wolf Solver to the real thing?

▾

It mirrors the real Solve Sea Wolf task: the same filters, species categorisation, prospect building and final microbe picks across all three contamination sites, solved in your browser like the original. An independent recreation — same shape and pressure, never the official content.

How do the runs work?

▾

Your purchase lives on your account: three runs of Sea Wolf Solver, unlocked the moment payment completes. Open the tool, confirm the entry prompt, and one run is consumed — re-run freely within that open session. Buy Sea Wolf Solver or fold it into the McKinsey bundle.

Do my runs expire?

▾

No. Runs stay on your account until you use them — buy now, practise when your assessment is scheduled. Only entering the tool consumes a run; within an open session you can re-run as often as you like.

Is there a refund guarantee?

▾

Yes — for the McKinsey bundle: use every tool in it, and if McKinsey rejects you with a score below the 8th decile, you get a full refund within 30 days of purchase. This tool on its own is a single-product purchase, outside the guarantee: read the terms.
