MAIS: Gear Inventory Is Only the Beginning.
MAIS, the Musician Asset Intelligence System (pronounced "maze"), is the framework behind RigVault. It treats music equipment as an operational system rather than a flat list of possessions.
MAIS connects seven questions.
- What do I own?
- Where is it?
- How is it configured?
- What do I need for this job?
- Is it documented and protected?
- What has happened to it?
- Who needs access to the information?
That's the difference between cataloging gear and operating it. Each question maps to a real part of RigVault:

RigVault first, MAIS second.
MAIS isn't meant to carry the burden of explaining RigVault to a first-time visitor. The practical category comes first: RigVault is music gear inventory and rig management software. MAIS is the structure underneath it, worth understanding once you're already using the product.
FAQ
MAIS, answered.
What is MAIS?
MAIS, the Musician Asset Intelligence System, is the information framework behind RigVault. It connects physical music equipment to organization, configuration, deployment, protection, history, and controlled sharing, so gear is managed as a connected system instead of a flat list of items.
How do you pronounce MAIS?
"Maze."
Do I need to understand MAIS to use RigVault?
No. You can use RigVault as a straightforward gear inventory and never think about MAIS. It's the framework underneath the product, not a separate thing you have to learn first.
