Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net slightly cool (-0.40) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 11%, cool 45%, neutral 16%, warm 28%. Pairs warm and cool. 28% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 56% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Tian Zhu Huang 37.5g (cold, 4% of the grams), Da Huang 60g (cold, 7% 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.
