B, to adjust the alpha factor. Wait, what's an alpha factor again? Is that like a Greek letter or something? I'm just going to go with my gut on this one.

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?
