**How are the numbers in Cycle Demand calculated?**  
The total sum of OP requested by applications in the mission request

**Links to relevant information?**  
All the applications are public in Charmverse and you can filter by Mission Request.

Your assumption is correct. The intent budget was created in [Oct 2023](https://gov.optimism.io/t/season-5-intents-budget-proposal/7040) it’s impossible to foresee which intent is going to have demand based on Mission Requests made by the community. A good example of this is Intent 4 with 1.33M (Oct 2023) while missions requests approved by the token house (almost all of them for [this intent](https://vote.optimism.io/proposals/87887380345359316303511900248014470638082162026872636188610669661624292635896)) demanded 529,000 OP total. If the GC proposed the original budget in Oct 2023, then it is logical a new proposal with corrections based on demand is done by the same council.

You don’t need to rely on the council to make all decisions correctly, we submitted this proposal so that Token House can approve our decision and delegates can always vote No.

All the background information was posted in the Cycle 22 roundup [here](https://gov.optimism.io/t/cycle-22-grants-submission-roundup/7931) before this proposal. The motivation is clear, relocate OP approved by the token house in the original budgets based on Mission Requests demand, and relevant information has been always public.
