How should you read Navan’s score?
The only platform committing the full trip-support set in writing — 24/7 human agents, in-app rebooking, duty of care. Built for the traveler, not just the controller.
A score is the floor Navan will put its name to, what you can plan on before you book. It does not grade the execution at any one property on the night; use it to set expectations, then verify the specific location.
