We don't want to be just singular shape, like T shaped, or like have broad expertise and deep expertise in one area. We want to be tic-tac-toe shaped. We're broad at layer one, layer three, layer seven, we go deep in in column three, 17, 29, and the more those tic-tac-toe squares. You can fill up, the better off you'll be.
