Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net slightly cool (-0.63) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 38%, cool 6%, neutral 38%, warm 19%.	Net cool (-1.21) From 94% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 50%, cool 35%, warm 15%. Small but decisive: Mu Tong 150g (cold, 7% of the grams), She Gan 120g (cold, 6% 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.
