The project 'Nicholas Morris' / 'Twelve Provinces' appears to be a small-scale freelance consultancy rather than a scalable technology product. The submission lacks verifiable evidence of technical innovation or significant market traction. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' are hyperbolic and contradict the reported metrics ($500k 'marketcap' and 6-person team). The vague description of 'Information Technology & Services' without specific use cases limits the assessment of real-world utility.

Description
Freelance programme manager and consultant. My areas of expertise run the gamut; project management, programme office management and IIoT/ IoT consulting. I learn something new every day at Twelve Provinces, but the overarching daily revelation is that IoT is not just about technology. It’s about the immersion of technology into everyday living, it is about helping people move along the path to Industry 4 and helping them see the almost infinite ways it is going to change the way they work and live.
