Buying Starting Tech Points

Greetings!

I had an idea for a small mod I wanted to try out (you have to start somewhere...), and I need a little help getting started (and finding out if it is possible).

I want to add an option to the RacialTraits.txt to buy one (or more) levels of "Advanced Technology". The effect would be to add a fixed amount to the Starting Player Tech Points. I can add the option and get it to show in the Racial Traits, but I dont know what Ability Type should be set to add to the Starting Player Tech Points.

Is this possible, and if so what is the Ability Type I need to reference?

Thanks for any assistance!
