I find there are some concepts used to qualify complexity and data-model fit in information theory and machine learning that can also be used to think about product-market fit or software-domain fit.
I tried to describe them here. I'm not sure I did a good job:

The gist:
Low resolution fit: The product vaguely and simply fits its market or domain.
High resolution fit: The product is complex and is tightly tailored to the market or domain.
Overfit: The product is so tightly tailored to some users that it only fits a small part of the market.
Underfit: The product is so generic that it’s missing important features and corner cases.
And then another qualifier 'crossfit' which is a bit harder to grasp, inspired by cross-entropy, that has to do with whether the design language, which can be seen in some ways as 'encoding' the problem, fits the domain or market well.
