Maybe I haven't read closely enough. I thought the method was to simply
have a runoff between the top two approved candidates.

In the example mentioned, it didn't seem to me that anybody had majority
approval, in which case it isn't clear who would win a runoff. Maybe I
was misreading the scores as actual ballots.
