Domain expertise to identify an important problem and envision a solution, math and coding to build it, and communication to deliver it.

Without domain expertise you’ll choose an unimportant or intractable problem or your solution won’t really solve the problem (because you don’t really understand the problem).

Without math and coding you’ll be limited to whatever someone or something else (with comparatively little domain expertise) can build for you. You typically don’t get what you want unless you build it yourself or you find someone with your missing technical skills and similarly deep domain expertise (very rare).

Without communication skills your solution won’t be understood and adopted. You’ll mistake lack of traction for lack of merit when it’s really just a failure to articulate value.
