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 cool (-0.67)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm hot

Grams by band: cold 47%, cool 7%, neutral 20%, warm 20%, hot 7%.

Pairs warm and cool. 27% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 53% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Small but decisive: Rou Gui 6g (hot, 7% of the grams), Mu Tong 6g (cold, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (+0.05)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cool 24%, neutral 48%, warm 29%.

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.
