Dual Goodwillie calculus conjecture for simplicial model categories

Let C\mathcal{C} be a simplicial model category in which Goodwillie calculus can be performed, with stabilization functors ΣC\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C} and ΩC\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}. Write (ΣCΩC)\partial_*(\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}) for the prospective cooperad of generalized Goodwillie derivatives of ΣCΩC\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}, and write IC\partial_*I_\mathcal{C} for the corresponding derivatives of the identity functor.

Dual Goodwillie calculus conjecture. There should be a cooperad (ΣCΩC)\partial_*(\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}) and an equivalence of operads

ICC((ΣCΩC)).\partial_*I_\mathcal{C} \simeq C\bigl(\partial_*(\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C})\bigr).

The conjecture is imprecisely stated because a proper formulation requires coloured operads of spectra, which are outside the scope of the paper; the authors expect their results to extend to that setting.
