At the moment some combinations could be written generated better. For example:

Virtually calibrating the intelligently value-added capability is crucial to our long-term silo. Iteratively strategizing the reliably immersive architecture is crucial to our mission critical low hanging fruit. We aim to dynamically deep-dive our stand-up by strategically offshoring the competitive innovative enterprise.

Those cases would read better without the 'the'. Also we need to perhaps think about the pluralisation, as 'capabilities' and 'stand-ups' would be better in the first and third sentences respectively. The mass noun concept may be helpful with this:

In linguistics, a mass noun or uncountable noun is a noun with the syntactic property that any quantity of it is treated as an undifferentiated unit, rather than as something with discrete subsets. Non-count nouns are distinguished from count nouns.

Given that different languages have different grammatical features, the actual test for which nouns are mass nouns may vary between languages. In English, mass nouns are characterized by the fact that they cannot be directly modified by a numeral without specifying a unit of measurement, and that they cannot combine with an indefinite article (a or an).
