Hikita probability lower-bound conjecture

Let mEn\mathbf{m}\in\mathbb{E}_n, let λn\lambda\vdash n, and let THikSYT(m,λ)T\in\operatorname{HikSYT}(\mathbf{m},\lambda). For the recursively defined Hikita weight hT(q)h_T(q) and every real α0\alpha\geq0, Hikita probability lower-bound conjecture.

hT(α)1i[λi]q=α!.h_T(\alpha)\geq\frac{1}{\prod_i[\lambda_i]_{q=\alpha}!}.

The source explains that this pointwise estimate would imply a lower bound for the specialized elementary coefficient and is not established there.
