# Balanced Coupling attribution

Balanced Coupling is Vlad Khononov's model. See coupling.dev and the book
Balancing Coupling in Software Design.

The source material that inspired this skill (`vladikk-modularity`) is licensed

own words, with attribution. Do not paste, quote, copy tables/diagrams, or
closely paraphrase the source. Anything beyond summary needs permission.

The 1–10 anchor points used by the graded balance equation (e.g. contract ~1,
model ~3, functional ~8, intrusive ~10; core subdomain ~10) are the book's
illustrative scale from Chapter 10, cited as the model's ordering with
