Some models will favor the idea of the presence of larger planets closer to the host star. These large planets are required to toss many of these icy bodies out to the Kuiper Belt. This also applies to SDO (Scattered Disk Objects).

It looks like these models will find suitable testing thanks to the remarkable telescopic ability of the JWST.
