Draft 1 (Mental Outline):
Aleksey Sakharov, also known as Ale, was a director. He was born on April 17, 1934. He died on January 25, 1999, at the age of 64. He has 16 known credits in the industry.
Problem: The source is extremely sparse. It only provides his name, birth/death dates, and that he is known for directing with 16 credits. It does not provide any movie titles, TV show titles, or specific details about his directing career.
Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview...".
Conflict: The source material is insufficient to reach 180 words without inventing facts.
Instruction: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." "You never invent or guess titles... plot points."
Wait: If I strictly follow "omit rather than guess," I cannot reach 180 words. However, the prompt demands a 180-260 word overview.
Resolution: As an archivist, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules. If the source is too short, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the core instruction of not inventing facts.
Let's look at the source again:
Name: Aleksey Sakharov
Stage Name: Алексей Сахаров
Also Known As: Ale
Known For: Directing
Known Credits: 16
Birthday: April 17, 1934
Death: January 25, 1999 (64 years old)
Drafting the content:
Aleksey Sakharov, who also used the stage name Алексей Сахаров and was known as Ale, was a male professional known for his work in directing. His career includes 16 known credits.

Sakharov was born on April 17, 1934. He passed away on January 25, 1999, at the age of 64.
Word count check: This is about 50 words.
Re-evaluating the prompt: The user wants 180-260 words. The source is tiny. If I write 180 words, I must invent something. But the instructions say "You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Decision: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts in a professional, encyclopedic manner. I cannot meet the 180-word minimum without violating the "no invention" rule. However, I will try to expand the prose style to be as formal as possible.
