+216
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

PHYGITAGS is a legitimate French IoT company (based in IoT Valley, Toulouse) offering NFC business cards and 'phygital' solutions like the 'Connected Dome'. External verification confirms established partnerships (e.g., Olympique Lyonnais) and a B2B reseller network, contradicting the submission's exaggerated claim that 'most people' use it. While the submission quality was extremely poor (hyperbolic claims, missing data), the underlying business shows verified regional traction and utility in the sales automation/networking sector. The score reflects a small but promising enterprise, penalized for data inaccuracy.
