Projective type II thin-set counting conjecture

Let MPn1(Q)M\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}(\mathbb{Q}) be a thin set of type II, and let NPn1(M,B)N_{\mathbb{P}^{n-1}}(M,B) denote the number of points of MM of height at most BB. Projective type II conjecture. There should be a constant C(M)C(M) such that

NPn1(M,B)C(M)Bn1s(B),N_{\mathbb{P}^{n-1}}(M,B)\leq C(M)B^{n-1}s(B),

where s(B)s(B) is a small factor, potentially satisfying s(B)εBεs(B)\ll_\varepsilon B^\varepsilon for every ε>0\varepsilon>0, or s(B)(logB)γ(M)s(B)\leq(\log B)^{\gamma(M)} for some γ(M)>0\gamma(M)>0, or s(B)1s(B)\leq 1. This is the central conjecture for projective thin sets of type II and would sharpen the general baseline bound.
