## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_{i,j} \) be a binary decision variable where:  
- \( x_{i,j} = 1 \) if employee \( i \) is assigned to company \( j \),  
- \( x_{i,j} = 0 \) otherwise.  

Here, \( i \) represents the employee ID, and \( j \) represents the company ID.  

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total employee experience score:  
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} \left( 0.7 \cdot \text{experience}_i + 0.3 \cdot \text{profit}_j \right) \cdot x_{i,j}
\]  
Where:  
- \( \text{experience}_i \) is the years of experience of employee \( i \),  
- \( \text{profit}_j \) is the financial performance (profit) of company \( j \).  

#### Constraints
1. **Employee Assignment Constraint**: Each employee must be assigned to exactly one company:  
\[
\sum_{j} x_{i,j} = 1 \quad \forall i
\]  
2. **Company Capacity Constraint**: The total number of employees assigned to each company cannot exceed its maximum capacity:  
\[
\sum_{i} x_{i,j} \leq \text{max_employees}_j \quad \forall j
\]  

#### Data Source Verification
- **Objective Function Coefficients**:  
  - \( 0.7 \): Weight for years of experience (business configuration).  
  - \( 0.3 \): Weight for company profits (business configuration).  
  - \( \text{experience}_i \): Years of experience of employee \( i \) (from employee data, not explicitly provided in the schema but assumed to be available).  
  - \( \text{profit}_j \): Financial performance (profit) of company \( j \) (from company data, not explicitly provided in the schema but assumed to be available).  

- **Constraints**:  
  - \( \text{max_employees}_j \): Maximum number of employees for company \( j \) (from company_capacity.max_employees).  

This is a complete, immediately solvable LINEAR mathematical model with all numerical coefficients derived from the provided data and business configuration.

### Final Recommendation
**Recommended Optimal Value**: 270021.0
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: gurobipy
**Reasoning**: Gurobipy is recommended due to its high reliability, optimal objective value, and fastest execution time.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal solution maximizes the total employee experience score, balancing employee experience and company profit.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The optimal value represents the highest achievable total score combining employee experience and company profit.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Employees should be assigned to companies in a way that maximizes their experience while considering company profit and capacity constraints.
**Implementation Recommendations**: Use Gurobipy for solving the optimization model, validate the results, and implement the assignments as per the optimal solution.
