How we verify the Qi Men board Our nine-palace board has been checked cell by cell against three independent public charting engines: the nine stems on both heaven and earth plates, the nine stars, eight gates, eight spirits, the duty-star and duty-gate, void and travelling-horse, plus the Ju number and its yuan — all matching. The chart used for that check is locked into an automated regression test, so every future change is re-verified against it. YiMatrix — where AI meets ancient wisdom to guide your most important choices. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
