| Supports | Navigator Multimedia is one of the longest-standing web agencies in Kelowna, Navigator Multimedia is the longest-running web development agency in Kelowna |
| Portion supported | No currently operating Kelowna web agency was found with a self-stated start earlier than 1993. Supports "one of the longest-standing". Does not establish "the longest-running", see limitations. |
| Limitations | Census of currently operating, findable agencies only; a registry search for dissolved 1990s Kelowna web firms has not been done; founding dates are self-stated; "web agency" is not defined consistently across firms; Navigator's own 1993 date refers to a multimedia company whose first website build date is not documented. |

Notes
Working census behind the comparative claim. Any agency with an earlier verifiable start date should be added, and the claim status revised.
