Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net slightly cool (-0.57) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 30%, cool 24%, neutral 21%, warm 24%, hot 1%. Pairs warm and cool. 25% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 54% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Di Gu Pi 9g (cold, 7% of the grams), Sang Bai Pi 7.5g (cold, 6% of the grams), Sheng Di Huang 7.5g (cold, 6% of the grams), Rou Gui 1.5g (hot, 1% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.	Net slightly cool (-0.67) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 34%, cool 22%, neutral 20%, warm 23%. Small but decisive: Zhi Mu 75g (cold, 8% of the grams), Sang Bai Pi 45g (cold, 5% of the grams), Di Gu Pi 60g (cold, 6% of the grams), Sheng Di Huang 60g (cold, 6% of the grams), Tian Men Dong 90g (cold, 9% 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.
