Research surveys and article feedback

The Human Edge reader survey (https://matt.black/human-edge/survey) collects anonymous responses by default to test ideas discussed in the public article.

• Survey responses may be used in aggregate to test and discuss the thesis.
• Email is optional. It is used for a results summary only if you provide it and tick the results checkbox.
• Marketing opt-in is separate and optional — unchecked by default.
• Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or client-identifying information in open-text answers.
• If you included an email, you can contact Matt to request deletion. Anonymous responses without email may not be identifiable for deletion.
• Survey data is not sold.

Lead magnets and book downloads

On the Imagination Economy launch page (https://matt.black/imagination-economy), you may request a free 15-minute version by email.

• Email (required) — used to send the download link for the 15-minute version.
• Name (optional) — used only to personalise the delivery email if you provide it.
• Launch updates (optional) — if you tick the separate checkbox, you may receive occasional launch updates and field notes. This is not required to receive the free version.
• LinkedIn — following or connecting on LinkedIn is optional and never required for the download.

Submissions are processed by email (Resend). In the current version, leads are not stored in a site database — Matt receives an internal notification email with your details and attribution fields (such as UTM parameters if present).

About page enquiries

The form on the About page (https://matt.black/about) collects name, organisation, email, and a short message so Matt can reply. Submissions are sent to Kit (tagged enquiry) and may also generate an internal notification email. This is not a newsletter signup.
