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 flowProfile, Categorise, Prospects and Final selection mirror the real game exactly.
- ✓Fit-rule engineEach routing decision is validated against the precise range table and the Insight.
- ✓Best-trio pickerThe final step always proposes the highest-possible trio — never a dead end.

The Sea Wolf solver saved me — I just didn't have enough time to prep for this as I was handling loads of applications at the same time. It would be worth the £10 on its own twenty times over but I ended up getting the bundle.

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.
