By "And" did you mean "Any"?

I don't think either equal ranking or truncation are necessary rules for
Condorcet//Approval. The method could require a strict ranking but
feature an explicitly placed cutoff.

By the way, electing from the Condorcet top tier using approval would
be called Smith//Approval or Schwartz//Approval depending on which top
tier is used. I don't typically consider these methods because they are
more complicated than Condorcet//Approval and can't be adjusted to
satisfy FBC.
