The source is extremely sparse. It only mentions he is an actor with 15 known credits and a content score of 88.
I need to reach 180-260 words using only these facts.
Problem: There are almost no facts. If I strictly follow "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent," I cannot reach 180 words without being extremely repetitive or using filler that isn't a "fact."
Wait: The prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
If the source only says "David Gries is a male actor with 15 known credits and a content score of 88," a 180-word text would be impossible without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Self-Correction/Refinement: As an archivist, I must be truthful. If the source is insufficient to meet the word count requirement without inventing information, I have a conflict. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, if the source is thin, I must expand on the context of the source or repeat the facts in a formal way, but I cannot invent "he has worked in film and television" because the source lists "Movies" and "TV Shows" as categories on the page, but doesn't explicitly say he has appeared in both (though it's implied by the TMDB structure).
Actually, the source lists: "Movies", "TV Shows", "People", "Awards", "Known For: Acting", "Known Credits: 15", "Gender: Male", "Content Score: 88".
Let's try to construct a formal text.
Fact 1: David Gries is a male actor.
Fact 2: He has 15 known credits.
Fact 3: His content score is 88.
Drafting attempt 1:
David Gries is a male actor. According to the information provided by The Movie Database, he has 15 known credits. His content score is listed as 88.
Critique 1: That is about 30 words. The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Dilemma: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview, but the source only provides about 15 words of actual data. If I write 180 words, I must invent something or be incredibly repetitive.
Strategy: I will describe the data provided in the source as an archivist would, noting the specific metrics available. I will repeat the facts in different formal ways to approach the length, though this is stylistically poor, it is the only way to follow the "ONLY facts" and "180-260 words" constraints simultaneously.
