Question about Raising a Skill from Default

Maybe there's room for a Very Hard technique (3 points for default+1/2 points for each +1 afterwards)?

I can see that, though what about requiring a Perk first, and then leave it as a Hard Technique?

So if Finance(H) is Accounting -4 you'd pay for:

Accounting (H) IQ+5 [24] 20-

Perk - Finance as an Accounting (H) Technique [1]

Finance (Accounting) [2] 17-

Personally, I'm tied to the idea of a double cost technique, so what about:

Perk: Turns the default penalty into a Very Hard* technique, and allows defaulting from it.

*Very Hard Technique: As an average technique, but double cost

Meh, not really keen on that, I'd either go all the way to a normal Hard Technique, or leave it alone, but YMMV.
