Proof. Proof of (1). Choose an open covering $X = \bigcup U_ i$ and maps $\alpha _ i : \mathcal{K}_ i^\bullet \to K|_{U_ i}$ in $D(\mathcal{O}_{U_ i})$ with $\mathcal{K}_ i^\bullet $ strictly perfect and $H^ j(\alpha _ i)$ isomorphisms for $j > m + 1$ and surjective for $j = m + 1$. We may replace $\mathcal{K}_ i^\bullet $ by $\sigma _{\geq m + 1}\mathcal{K}_ i^\bullet $ and hence we may assume that $\mathcal{K}_ i^ j = 0$ for $j < m + 1$. After refining the open covering we may choose maps $\beta _ i : \mathcal{L}_ i^\bullet \to L|_{U_ i}$ in $D(\mathcal{O}_{U_ i})$ with $\mathcal{L}_ i^\bullet $ strictly perfect such that $H^ j(\beta )$ is an isomorphism for $j > m$ and surjective for $j = m$. By Lemma 20.46.7 we can, after refining the covering, find maps of complexes $\gamma _ i : \mathcal{K}^\bullet \to \mathcal{L}^\bullet $ such that the diagrams

are commutative in $D(\mathcal{O}_{U_ i})$ (this requires representing the maps $\alpha _ i$, $\beta _ i$ and $K|_{U_ i} \to L|_{U_ i}$ by actual maps of complexes; some details omitted). The cone $C(\gamma _ i)^\bullet $ is strictly perfect (Lemma 20.46.2). The commutativity of the diagram implies that there exists a morphism of distinguished triangles

It follows from the induced map on long exact cohomology sequences and Homology, Lemmas 12.5.19 and 12.5.20 that $C(\gamma _ i)^\bullet \to M|_{U_ i}$ induces an isomorphism on cohomology in degrees $> m$ and a surjection in degree $m$. Hence $M$ is $m$-pseudo-coherent by Lemma 20.47.2.

Assertions (2) and (3) follow from (1) by rotating the distinguished triangle. $\square$
