Optimal headtube angle, rake and trail for 20” wheels?

Hi all, I’m held up at the design stage and thought you guys might have an answer to a little theory question... (if you feel the folding bikes sub-forum would be better, please report me to get this thread moved!)

is there any sort of consensus on front end geometry for small wheeled bikes? With big wheels, lots of major brands publish full geometry and it’s easy to compare (eg Shand: shandcycles.com/bikes/stoater/) and they all seem to agree, give or take a few mm or degrees. However, I can find no small wheel brands which publish theirs/their rationale?

it strikes me that the geometry should be subtly different?

many thanks in advance and, er, hi
