Notes Without Structure Are Just Stories
Your team is full of conversations: Sales reps capturing objections, CS logging issues and wins, PMs interviewing users.
But when those notes aren't structured, they don't scale.
You end up with:

- • Anecdotes, not action
- • A mountain of words — but no direction
Why Tagging Is the Secret to Strategic Insight
Tagging gives your notes shape.
Instead of "a bunch of stuff about billing," you get:
Now you can prioritize based on patterns, not opinions.
The Right Tags Reveal the Right Questions
Use tags to answer key product questions:
| Question | Tag Structure |
|---|---|
| What do enterprise clients care about? | Segment: Enterprise |
| Where's onboarding breaking down? | Theme: Onboarding |
| What's driving churn in EMEA? | Region: EMEA Sentiment: Frustration |
| Which persona wants audit logs? | Persona: Admin Feature: Audit Logs |
