Every B2B deal travels the same path: a lead becomes a quote, the quote becomes a contract, the contract becomes an invoice, the invoice becomes cash, the cash is reconciled, and it all ends up as recognized revenue.

Lead-to-cash is the full cycle, from the first qualified lead to revenue recognized in the books. Quote-to-cash starts at pricing and quoting and is the name most finance and RevOps teams use for the middle of the cycle. Order-to-cash starts once an order or contract is signed and focuses on billing, collections, and cash application.
The stages are the same whichever name you use. Problems travel downstream: a quote without payment terms becomes an invoice dispute, an invoice without a PO number becomes a late payment, and a payment without an invoice reference becomes unapplied cash at month end. That is why each stage page lists where it breaks and what to measure, not just the tools.

Most LLM classification work happens by asking a chat model a question and parsing free text out of the response. TypeSafe's Jev model skips that step entirely: you send typed questions and get back typed, probability-scored answers. Here's where that fits across quote-to-cash.
