Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net warm (+0.75) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: neutral 37%, warm 50%, hot 12%.	Net slightly cool (-0.26) From 100% of the weighed grams. 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.
