Top-tier strategy consultancies rely on digital assessments to screen top talent. This tool simulates the 2025 “Sea Wolf” assessment - a digital challenge testing the ability to perform optimization under time pressure.
🎯 The Challenge
You have 30 minutes to restore 3 contaminated Ocean Sites. For each site, one must engineer a precise “Treatment” by selecting exactly 3 Microbes from a wider candidate pool. Success is about demonstrating consistent selection logic and achieving 100% Efficiency in the final Treatment phase if possible.
The whole test has previously been fully disclosed online: Full Test (Youtube).
PROCESS SCORE Penalty Algorithm
| Rule Type | Condition | Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Attribute Range | Treatment Mean (Average) of all 3 microbes must fall within Site Range (e.g., 4-6). | -20% / stat |
| Desired Trait | At least ONE microbe must have the Site’s Desired Trait (e.g., “Heat-Resistant”). | -20% (once) |
| Undesired Trait | NO microbe can have the Site’s Undesired Trait (e.g., “Aerobic”). | -20% PER microbe |
