The birational simplex-like subdivision conjecture for positive geometries

Let (X,X0)(X,X_{\geq 0}) be a positive geometry. A subdivision is a collection of positive geometries (X1,X1,0),,(Xr,Xr,0)(X_1,X_{1,\geq 0}),\ldots,(X_r,X_{r,\geq 0}) with pairwise disjoint interiors and union of their nonnegative parts equal to X0X_{\geq 0}. Birational simplex-like subdivision conjecture. Every positive geometry has a subdivision into positive geometries that are birationally simplex-like. Such subdivisions would extend the canonical-form triangulation framework beyond ordinary polytopes, but the source gives no general proof.
