    > putting business logic where it belonged in the first place

I've been thinking a lot about where to put business logic, and I think the models are the closest, but not the best place for them.

A significant portion of this logic for me affects more than one model, and while you could solve this by using public interfaces, you still need to put in any of the models, which seems like a suboptimal approach.

The ORM is already responsible for several layers, and custom business logic is not relevant there imho.

Still puzzled how to organize my code. MVC has started to fall apart for me. Just my two cents.
