D, to remove seasonal variability from forecast data. Because who needs to worry about pesky things like 'trends' and 'patterns' when you've got a good demand filter, right?

Hmm, I'm going to go with C. Flagging a large order seems like the most practical use case here. Gotta keep an eye on those big orders, you know?

A demand filter? Sounds like something to remove the 'demand' from my daily life. Is there a filter for that?

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be used to flag a large order for special attention.
