Doubao prompt volatility tracking

doubaoprompt_volatilityAccount required

Doubao is volatile because its sources are: short-video content turns over far faster than reference content, so the citation set moves week to week even when nothing about your brand changes.

How it renders

Derived across the sample set and across runs over time.

Sampling

Volatility is what tells you the right n for every other field. We recommend using it to allocate credits: sample noisy prompts deeply, stable prompts lightly.

Gotcha

Doubao volatility is mostly source churn, not model behaviour. Reporting it as instability misses that the underlying content genuinely changed.

What the API returns

A single collection call against Doubao for the prompt volatility field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
