It is widely acknowledged that the system functionality captured in a system model has to match organisational requirements available in the business model. However, fitness measures are rarely integrated in design methodologies. The paper proposes a framework to ease the generation of fitness measures adapted to a given methodology in order to quantify to which extent there is fit between the business and the system. The framework comprises a generic level and a specific level. The former provides generic evaluation criteria and metrics expressed on the basis of business and system ontologies. The specific level is dealing with a specific set of metrics adapted to specific business and system models. The paper presents the process for generating a specific set of measures from the generic set, illustrates it with two specific models and shows how the use of the generated metrics can help in making design decisions in the development of a hotel room booking system.
