{"coverage_note":"Five categories were checked for Navan (navan.com): (1) discrepancy_pricing \u2014 searches found BBB complaints and a securities lawsuit but no regulatory enforcement or verified evidence of hidden fees at checkout; no finding was surfaced. (2) discrepancy_availability \u2014 a finding was confirmed based on Trustpilot user reports documenting flights listed as unavailable on Navan that were bookable elsewhere, and hotel rates booked through Navan that front-desk staff flagged as ineligible; this is the only category producing handoff triggers. (3) discrepancy_identity \u2014 BBB complaints showed individual refund disputes but no systemic merchant-of-record ambiguity; no finding was surfaced. (4) discrepancy_policy \u2014 BBB complaints reflected isolated refund delays and service failures but no documented systemic divergence between stated and enforced cancellation/refund policy; no finding was surfaced. (5) discrepancy_undisclosed_constraint \u2014 user reviews noted that flight modifications must route through Navan rather than the airline directly, but this is standard TMC practice and is covered in Navan's help center; no finding was surfaced.
