Monotone edge-shrinking and vertex-expansion conjecture for polytopes

Let P,QRdP,Q\subset\mathbb{R}^d be polytopes with isomorphic edge-graphs. Assume that QQ contains the origin in its interior, edges in QQ are not longer than the corresponding edges in PP, and vertex-origin distances in QQ are not smaller than the corresponding distances in PP. Monotone edge-shrinking and vertex-expansion conjecture. Then PQP\cong Q. The conjecture removes the requirement that the polytopes be combinatorially equivalent, retaining only isomorphism of their edge-graphs; the source gives no resolution.
