Revenue System
The integrated architecture — definitions, systems of record, process and reporting — that makes revenue predictable rather than episodic.
Predictability is the output
The test of a revenue system is whether next quarter can be forecast within a tolerable band. Organisations that hit their number through heroics have revenue; organisations that can predict it have a system.
The distinguishing question

Revenue Operations (RevOps)
The function that owns the systems, data and process connecting marketing, sales and customer success, so that revenue is produced by a designed system rather than by four teams improvising in parallel.
Single Source of Truth (SSOT)
The declared authority for a given piece of data — the system whose value wins when two systems disagree. Correctly applied it is decided per field, not per system.
