TL-pfaffinant Schur Q-positivity conjecture

Let PnP_n be the algebra containing the element ff, let PfafD\mathrm{Pfaf}'_D denote the diagram pfaffinants, and let Aλ/μA_{\lambda/\mu} be a generalized QQ-Jacobi-Trudi matrix associated with a skew shifted shape λ/μ\lambda/\mu. Suppose

f=DcDPfafD,f=\sum_D c_D\mathrm{Pfaf}'_D,

where each cDc_D is non-negative. TL-pfaffinant Schur QQ-positivity conjecture. For every generalized QQ-Jacobi-Trudi matrix Aλ/μA_{\lambda/\mu}, the evaluation f(Aλ/μ)f(A_{\lambda/\mu}) is a nonnegative linear combination of Schur QQ-functions. This conjecture proposes a connection between decompositions into diagram pfaffinants and Schur QQ-positivity; its resolution is not given in the source.
