MAT

How It Works

A lifecycle, not a list of features.

Every stage of the stewardship lifecycle produces something the school needed but couldn't reliably have before. Here is what changes at each step.

01

Set up your classrooms.

Nido, Toddler, Primary, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, Elementary. Your school's real structure, mirrored digitally. Add rooms, name them, assign Guides.

Outcome

Your school's real structure, mirrored digitally, in minutes.

Each classroom type carries its own catalogue template — the curriculum areas, sub-areas, and expected materials appropriate for that environment. You start from the full picture, not a blank page.

02

Confirm against the catalogue.

Work through the reference model for each classroom. Confirm what exists. Note anything your classroom intentionally does differently, without judgement. The catalogue isn't a prescription — it's a reference.

Outcome

A complete picture, built from what you already have.

One question per item: does this exist in your classroom? The result is a living inventory that reflects your real environment, not a generic template.

03

Steward it day to day.

Observations, transfers, repairs, commitments — recorded in the language Guides already use. A cracked bead. A bell returned from repair. A note about a material that needs attention.

Outcome

The classroom's story, always current, never reconstructed.

Because these records are made at the moment of observation, they're accurate. There's no end-of-term reconstruction exercise, no reliance on memory, no gaps when someone is absent.

04

Verify with confidence.

Periodic stock takes — structured walks through each classroom, guided by MAT. Every item is either confirmed present, noted as missing, or flagged for follow-up.

Outcome

An evidenced answer to the only question that matters: is every classroom ready for the children?

Stock takes generate signed evidence records. The school can say, with a document to support it, that the environment was verified on a specific date.

05

Understand what you own.

Completeness, replacement value, depreciation, classroom health — generated automatically from the record you've been building.

Outcome

Renewals, budgets and procurement decisions made from evidence, not memory.

When your broker asks for replacement values, they're already waiting. When your accountant asks about depreciation, the answer exists. When your board asks about capital expenditure, the evidence is there.

06

Hand it on.

When a Guide changes, MAT briefs the next one. The classroom's history — its materials, its observations, its maintenance record — is there, complete and readable.

Outcome

Continuity that no longer depends on any one person.

The new Guide doesn't inherit a blank slate. They inherit a living record of the environment they're about to work in. The knowledge remains.

Roles

Everyone sees the same underlying facts.

Presented for what their work needs — and nothing that isn't theirs.

School Owner

Whole-school view: every classroom, all reports, financial intelligence, staff and access.

Operational access: classrooms, inventory, commitments, people.

Their classroom: full read and write access to materials, observations, stock takes.
