When business partners' note-taking philosophies reveal deeper strategic disagreements

My business partner and I are trying to build a knowledge base for our consulting firm, but we're discovering that our note-taking philosophies reflect completely different beliefs about what knowledge is worth preserving and how it should be structured. She wants everything documented with extensive cross-references while I prefer capturing just key insights and trusting our intuition, and it's becoming clear this isn't just about productivity tools—it's about how we fundamentally approach expertise and client relationships.
