Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net slightly warm (+0.33) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 18%, neutral 12%, warm 69%.	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.
Taste	pungent 45% sweet 18% bitter 31% salty 6% From 100% of the weighed grams.	sweet 89% bitter 9% bland 2% From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached	Stomach 88% Lung 82% Spleen 82% Heart 43% Large intestine 18% Pericardium 18% Share of the grams entering each channel, from 100% of the weighed grams.

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.
