Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net cool (-1.07) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 47%, cool 33%, warm 20%.	Net slightly cool (-0.54) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 21%, cool 46%, warm 33%. Pairs warm and cool. 33% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 67% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Da Huang 6g (cold, 8% 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.
