Default Inductive Coupling Coefficient - Update

I need a SWAG on this, just to see if it's feasible...

Two inductors (solenoids) with Ferrite cores, each ~5mm in diameter
and separated by ~5mm spacing.

What coupling coefficient might I expect?

(Essentially no load on the "receiving" inductor except natural
losses... and I could tune or not.)

Customer built a PCB and is getting good data coupling out to 2"
spacing.

Both ends are tuned with Q~10, so I'm going to cut it back a bit, I
fear cross-talk issues when he implements multi-channels.
