It looks like we haven't put enough effort into naming things here, at least to me.

May need work.
At the end of the day, any team that's trying to accomplish a technological task needs:
As long as you've got those four roles covered, you're probably good. You can have other people assisting, but if any of those isn't covered, you're in trouble.
It looks to me like LW has the first one covered and none of the other three. Their system administration team, whatever else is going on with the place, is killing it.
Can you have one person cover two roles? Could you have a head-slapping genius?
Yes, although it's usually safer to let one person specialize in each. If you try to cross the streams, you can introduce instability. Your head-slapping genius can turn into a megalomaniac over time and drive everyone off the project. Your genius business guy can turn out to be an absolute loony, and persuade everyone to work on a project that makes no sense and will never work. It's better if everyone picks a lane.
