It'll sound pretty good once I get it a go.
It can be a noun too- we'll just see how it rolls.

pos·it
verb
1. to place, put, or set.
2. to lay down or assume as a fact or principle; postulate.

noun
3. something that is posited; an assumption; postulate.

Found in:
Meeting need and achieving sustainability in water project interventions. Huby, M., Stevenson, S. Progress in Development Studies, Jul2003, Vol. 3 Issue 3, p196-209.

"Baland and Platteau (1996) posit the advantages of federated structures for the
management of common property such as water, with nested multiple layers of rights
and responsibilities."
