The k-server problem is fundamental to distributed system design, affecting load balancing and content delivery networks. With the conjecture proven, companies will want expert help implementing optimized solutions.
Offer specialized consulting to tech companies building distributed infrastructure. Focus on adapting the theoretical proof into practical improvements for their specific use cases.
Enterprise infrastructure teams would pay for this expertise to gain competitive performance advantages.
Start with case studies showing potential optimizations, then offer implementation audits.
The biggest risk is narrowing the market too much - need to show clear ROI beyond theoretical improvements.
