Put up to 4 formulas side by side — dose-weighted nature, taste balance and channel reach, with the composition behind them.

Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly warm (+0.48)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cool warm

Grams by band: cool 26%, warm 74%.

Pairs warm and cool. 74% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 26% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly cool (-0.26)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold neutral

Grams by band: cold 13%, neutral 87%.

Small but decisive: Huang Bai 6g (cold, 9% of the grams), Che Qian Zi 3g (cold, 4% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Energetics are dose-weighted from each herb's recorded nature, taste and channels; herbs without a record are left out, never counted as neutral, and a net nature is withheld when its chief herb has none. Classical formulas often pair warm and cool herbs on purpose — a net figure summarises the mix, it doesn't judge it.
