Qwen locale variance tracking

qwenlocale_varianceAccount required

Qwen is a mainland-China surface first. Locale work here is mostly about language and about whether your commerce presence exists in the market at all.

How it renders

Controlled by prompt language and egress country.

Sampling

Each locale is its own sample set. A cross-market comparison at n=30 per market costs what it says on the tin, which is why we surface the arithmetic before you commit.

Gotcha

Running Qwen from outside China with English prompts produces a result that no Chinese customer would ever see. If the brief is the Chinese market, the collection has to look Chinese end to end.

What the API returns

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