# 5.2 How Zone Findings Drive the Therapy Panels

****Qualifying finding types****

| Finding type | Badge | Weighting in ranking |

|--------------|-------|---------------------|

| Flattening (lacuna / crypts) | ****FLAT**** | severity × 1.2 (highest priority) |

| Protrusion (raised sector) | ****PROT**** | severity × 1.0 |

| ANW shift (ring displacement) | ****ANW**** | deviation × 0.8 |

Findings are ranked by their weighted score. Each engine caps the number of displayed cards:

- Herbal engine: up to ****6 zone cards****

- Nutrition engine: up to ****6 zone cards****

- Chiropractic engine: up to ****5 zone cards****

- TCM engine: up to ****5 zone cards****

If a zone maps to an organ that the database does not cover, that zone is silently skipped. No recommendation card is generated.

****OD / OS labelling****

Every card carries an eye badge (****OD**** = right / ****OS**** = left) so the practitioner knows which eye produced the finding. The iris zone map is mirrored between eyes: for example, the 9-o'clock zone is the right lung (OD) and the left lung (OS); the 3-o'clock zone is the left heart/pericardium (OS) and the right back/pleura (OD).
