Inductive refined Bachmann conjecture for the case of fewer zeros than depth

Fix z,d,wZ>0z,d,w\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0} with z<dz<d, and assume that

Filz,d,wZ,D,WZqfFz,d,w\operatorname{Fil}^{\mathrm{Z,D,W}}_{z',d',w'}\mathcal{Z}_q^f\subset\operatorname{F}_{z',d',w'}

for all zzz'\leq z, d<dd'<d, and w<ww'<w. For every k=(k1,,kd)Z>0d\mathbf{k}=(k_1,\ldots,k_d)\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^d and every word W=uk1u0z1ukdu0zdU,\mathtt{W}=u_{k_1}u_0^{z_1}\cdots u_{k_d}u_0^{z_d}\in\mathcal{U}^{\ast,\circ} satisfying zero(W)=z\operatorname{zero}(\mathtt{W})=z, depth(W)=d\operatorname{depth}(\mathtt{W})=d, and wt(W)=w\operatorname{wt}(\mathtt{W})=w, the inductive refined Bachmann conjecture asserts that

ζqf(W)spanQ(Sz,d,k(2)Sz,d,k(3))+Fz,d,wFz,d,w.\zeta_q^{\mathrm{f}}(\mathtt{W})\in \operatorname{span}_{\mathbb{Q}}\left(S^{(2)}_{z,d,\mathbf{k}}\cup S^{(3)}_{z,d,\mathbf{k}}\right)+\operatorname{F}_{z,d,w}\subset\operatorname{F}_{z,d,w}.

In particular, Filz,d,wZ,D,WZqfFz,d,w\operatorname{Fil}^{\mathrm{Z,D,W}}_{z,d,w}\mathcal{Z}_q^f\subset\operatorname{F}_{z,d,w}. The paper says that its proofs provide evidence for this claim for d4d\leq4; the general inductive statement remains open.
