This solver is designed to help you approach the McKinsey Sea Wolf game in a structured, consistent, and time-efficient way. Instead of relying on intuition or ad-hoc judgment, the solver provides a clear decision framework to guide how microbes are evaluated, assigned, or rejected at each step of the game.
The Sea Wolf game is not only about reaching a final outcome. McKinsey evaluates how candidates analyze tradeoffs, apply rules consistently, and make decisions under uncertainty. This solver mirrors that expectation by emphasizing a repeatable process that can be applied reliably, even when perfect matches do not exist.
The decision logic embedded in this solver is designed to maximize decision quality and consistency, which are core signals McKinsey looks for in the Sea Wolf game.
How to Use the Solver:

Important note on scoring and guarantees
This solver does not claim to guarantee a 100% score. The McKinsey Sea Wolf game includes hidden scoring logic, uncertainty, and randomness that no external tool can fully eliminate.
However, the framework used in this solver reflects a best-practice strategy aligned with how the game is structured and how McKinsey evaluates candidates. The objective is not perfection, but to demonstrate clear reasoning, disciplined judgment, and a consistent decision-making process from start to finish.
