Betti numbers of Koszul algebras defined by four quadrics

Let $I$ be an ideal generated by quadrics in a standard graded polynomial ring $S$ over a field. A question of Avramov, Conca, and Iyengar asks whether the Betti numbers of $R = S/I$ over $S$ can be bounded above by binomial coefficients on the minimal number of generators of $I$ if $R$ is Koszul. This question has been answered affirmatively for Koszul algebras defined by three quadrics and Koszul almost complete intersections with any number of generators. We give a strong affirmative answer to the above question in the case of four quadrics by completely determining the Betti tables of height two ideals of four quadrics defining Koszul algebras.
