Shifted Grothendieck positivity conjecture for skew products

Let β\beta be the parameter, and let λ\boldsymbol{\lambda} and μ\boldsymbol{\mu} be strict partitions. Let GQλ/ ⁣/μ(β)GQ^{(\beta)}_{\lambda/\!/\mu} denote the corresponding skew shifted Grothendieck function, and let GQ+\mathbf{GQ}^+ and gp+\mathbf{gp}^+ be the indicated positive spans of shifted Grothendieck functions.

Shifted Grothendieck positivity conjecture. One has

GQλ/ ⁣/μ(β)GQ+GQ^{(\beta)}_{\lambda/\!/\mu} \in \mathbf{GQ}^+

and

gpλ(β)gpμ(β)gp+.gp^{(\beta)}_{\lambda}gp^{(\beta)}_{\mu} \in \mathbf{gp}^+.

These are conjectural positivity properties analogous to the known positivity of products of the corresponding GP(β)GP^{(\beta)} and GQ(β)GQ^{(\beta)} functions.
