Re. your 5 + 4 = 9, so does 8 + 1 or 10 - 1 [or an infinite combination thereof].

My point: are they standalone, additive, or subtractive to one another?

Fundamental analysis, classically refers to 'time-in-the-market', whereas, technicals are 'timing' the market.

Clearly, timing the market is far more profitable than time in, if, and it is a big IF, you are any good at it.

Where the fundamentals help provide an edge to an otherwise technical holding is the ability to hold and build, over time an ever increasing position. This [obviously] can only really happen if the fundamentals of the position are sound, viz. it will not go to zero. It allows an 'average' holding to be multiples more profitable than a simple buy and hold, unless, the buy and hold goes straight up.

The answer therefore is: they can be standalone, but they can also be additive. Just make sure they are not subtractive, through user confusion.
