Word count check: ~145 words. Still too short. I need to reach at least 180.

Wait, the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the sources don't provide enough information to reach 180 words without violating the "do not invent" rule, I have a conflict. I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules over the word count if the source material is insufficient. However, I can use more descriptive, formal language to expand the existing facts.

Let's try to elaborate on the provided details more formally.
