Bounded Context / Cross-Context Reuse

Kind: tension

Record: tension:bounded-context-cross-context-reuse

Canonical: Schema

"bounded-context" (domain-modeling layer) is traded against "Cross-Context Reuse" (domain-modeling layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Cross-Context Reuse" and choosing an explicit operating point.

Listed in Tensions, after Domain Model / Persistence Simplicity and before Context Mapping / Documentation Overhead.
