The method,
written down,
before you hire us.
Three pieces of revenue systems work we are asked for most often, set out the way we would actually run them. What breaks and why. How we build it. What you own when we leave. You can read the method and decide for yourself whether the people who wrote it know the work — which is more than you can do with a wall of logos and a row of numbers you would have to take on trust.
01 — The playbooks
03A method you can read and argue with tells you more than a figure you have no way of checking.
A consultancy website is usually a list of names and a set of numbers, and both are unfalsifiable from where you are sitting. The names are not references you can ring. You cannot see the baseline. You cannot know what else was happening in that business that quarter. So the numbers do no work except to look like evidence, and any reader worth persuading discounts them anyway.
A method is different. If we say a dual-run has to reconcile at invoice-line level for two full cycles before a wave cuts over, you can judge that. If we say a rating run has to be deterministic and re-runnable and explain what that costs to build, you can judge that too. Somebody who has done this work will recognise it, and somebody who has not will at least know what to ask us. That is what these pages are for.
They are not sales collateral, and they are not exhaustive. Every real system has a detail in it that no playbook anticipated. But the shape of the work does not change much, and the shape is what you are buying.
03 — Where to start
Pick the one that hurtsIf you cannot name your billing systems in one breath
Start with billing consolidation. The symptom is a reconciliation that has to finish before the close can begin, and a report whose answer depends on who ran it.
If revenue recognition lives in a workbook
Start with ASC 606. The symptom is a close that waits for one specific person, and no trail from a recognised revenue line back to the order that created it.
If customers are surprised by their invoices
Start with usage billing. The symptom is a disputes queue that never empties and a renewal conversation that begins on the contract end date.
If you are not sure which of the three it is
That is a normal place to start. A systems assessment ends in a written diagnostic you own — and if the honest answer is that the stack is fine and the problem is process, the document will say so.

solutions@jinix.co.inTell us where the
numbers stop agreeing.
If a playbook describes something you recognise, say so and tell us which part of it you have already tried. If it describes something adjacent but not quite yours, that is more useful still — the gap between the two is usually the whole conversation.
