Double-Ended ICT meets these stronger FBC versions:

FBC4:

Premise:

V is a set of voters who have the same preferences and vote in the
same way. Everyone but V has already voted. The only way that V can
keep Worst from winning is by making Compromise win instead. They have
a way of voting that would achieve that.

Requirement:

If V doesn't vote Worst over anyone, and doesn't vote anyone over
Compromise, then Worst won't win.

[end of FBC4 definition]


FBC5:

Premise:

V is a set of voters who have he same preferences and vote in the same
way. Everyone but V has already voted. Set A and Set B are disjoint
sets of candidates. The winner will come from Set A or Set B. V has a
way of voting that would ensure that the winner doesn't come from Set
B.

Requirement:

If V votes everyone not in Set B over all of the candidates in Set B,
and doesn't vote anyone over any of the candidates in Set A, then the
winner won't come from Set B.

[end of FBC5 definition]

I emphasize that Double-Ended ICT is new, and I can't say for sure
that it doesn't have some problem or fault. i can't even guarantee
that the statements in this post are correct. Though tentative, they
seem to be correct.
