But 3-Slot ICT meets FBC, & amounts to Approval without chicken-dilemma.

I'd offer it as "Deluxe Approval".

It's my favourite.

I'd advise people to top-rate (only) the very best, closest to then, whom
they really like & fully trust.

...& to reserve the middle-rating for candidates who are that good, but
whose voters they don't trust in what would otherwise be a chicken-dilemma
situation.

Sequential-Pairwise is an easy way to get Smith in show-of-hands voting in
a meeting.

But it's only for nonstrategic amicable electorates.

Sag the B voters doubt that B will survive it's pairwise comparison with A.

So they insincerely vote some C over A, to eliminate A before it gets to B.

Say you're an A voter. You're now  presentated with  a situation in which
you must choose between letting B win, or retaliating by insincerely voting
someone over B to eliminate it, resulting in a win for something much worse.

...a choice between capitulation, or costly retaliation.
