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

| Net nature |
Net cool (-0.87) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 60%, neutral 9%, warm 32%. Pairs warm and cool. 32% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 60% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Tian Men Dong 36g (cold, 9% of the grams), Mai Men Dong 36g (cold, 9% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net nature not shown: the chief herb (Da Zao) has no dose in grams. From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 44%, neutral 30%, warm 26%. Pairs warm and cool. 26% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 44% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. |

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.
