This is an interesting optimization problem. Imo there are too many territories already, which suggests that 100k is too little. On the other hand, it doesn't seem profitable to own a territory, even for one of the most requested tags, "econ".
Maybe we're still just too early to say anything and "price discovery" is still happening. I imagine the cost to own a territory will be revised quite soon, and personally I think they should be distributed via more of an auction like system.
I don't see it as an optimization problem. It's a price discovery one. Two variables are locked right now, 100K + 10%. Both of those should be allowed to float.

29k today, let me know how short you are on the 5th.

Thank kind sir! You already had a claim on future co-owner, this seals the deal, imho. We'll figure it out...when/if the tools emerge.
