Best for	Teams forecasting at very large scale (thousands to millions of series) or wanting a no-training hosted forecasting API.	Analysts who need a fast, interpretable forecast on a single time series with clear seasonality and holidays.	Teams that want to benchmark many forecasting model types against the same dataset through one consistent interface.	Teams that want a strong automated forecasting baseline without manually selecting or tuning models.
