Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature	Net cool (-1.19) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 73%, warm 27%. Pairs warm and cool. 27% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 73% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Hong Da Ji 30g (cold, 9% of the grams), Gan Sui 30g (cold, 9% of the grams), Qing Fen 3g (cold, 1% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.	Net cool (-1.40) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 80%, warm 20%.
Taste	pungent 37% sweet 5% bitter 59% From 100% of the weighed grams.	pungent 60% bitter 40% 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.
