Known credits: 15.
Content score: 50.
Gender/Birthday/Place of Birth/Also Known As: Not provided.
The source is extremely sparse. It only mentions his name, that he is known for writing, and that he has 15 known credits.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: It is impossible to write 180-260 words of verifiable facts from a source that only contains about 10 words of actual information (Name, Writing, 15 credits).
If I follow the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot meet the word count requirement without violating the "no invention" rule.
Option A: Write a very short paragraph and fail the word count.
Option B: Repeat the same facts in different ways (repetitive/unprofessional).
Option C: Explain why I can't fulfill the request (not allowed by the persona instructions which say "Write ONLY verifiable facts...").

Wait, let me re-read the source.
"Bill Froehlich — The Movie Database (TMDB)"
"Known For: Writing"
"Known Credits: 15"
"Content Score: 50"

There is literally nothing else. No movie titles, no dates, no locations.

If I write: "Bill Froehlich is a writer with 15 known credits according to The Movie Database. His content score is 50." -> That is 18 words.

The prompt asks for 180-260 words. This is a conflict between the "Only verifiable facts" constraint and the "180-260 word" constraint.

In strict instruction following for LLMs, the "Only verifiable facts" and "Do not invent" rules are usually "Hard Constraints" (Safety/Accuracy), whereas the word count is a "Soft Constraint" (Formatting/Style). However, as an archivist, I cannot hallucinate.

Let's see if I can expand on the context of the source without inventing facts.
"According to The Movie Database, Bill Froehlich is a professional known for his work in writing. The database lists a total of 15 known credits for his career. His profile on the platform indicates a content score of 50. No further personal information, such as his birthday, place of birth, or gender, is provided in the available records. The documentation for his career is currently categorized under the writing credit type."

This is still only ~70 words.

Is there any other way? No. The source is too thin.

Let's try to be as thorough as possible with the metadata provided.

If I cannot meet the word count without lying, I must prioritize the "Do not invent" rule. However, usually, in these types of prompts, there might
