Totaro's birational product conjecture for anisotropic quadrics

From papers

Let XX be an anisotropic quadric over a field kk. Write i1(X)\mathfrak{i}_1(X) for its first Witt index. A subquadric XXX'\subset X is a quadric contained in XX. Totaro's birational product conjecture. The quadric XX should be birational to

X×Pki1(X)1X'\times\mathbb{P}_k^{\mathfrak{i}_1(X)-1}

for some subquadric XXX'\subset X of codimension i1(X)1\mathfrak{i}_1(X)-1. This is a more precise formulation of the ruledness conjecture; the source presents it as an open conjecture related to Totaro's work.
