Abstract: Sufficientarian grading rules are de ned using a nite family of sucientarian judgements on individual capability assignments as embodied in a sufficientarian binary grading function (BGF). Both sufficientarian grading rules and the sufficientarian total preorders on capability-type assignments they induce are characterized. Moreover, several further total preorders based upon sufficiency-gap information provided by a sufficientarian grading rule are explicitly de ned and some of them are also characterized. It is also shown that there exists a class of inclusive, unanimity-respecting and suitably strategy-proof protocols (including simple majority when the number of agents is odd) which can be deployed in order to select one specific sufficientarian grading rule.
