Word Count Check: The draft above is very short (approx 75 words). I need to reach 180-260 words.
Problem: The provided sources are extremely sparse. They only contain basic biographical data and a credit count. There are no specific movie titles, TV show names, or specific roles listed for this David Oliver.
Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
Conflict: If I only use the facts provided, I cannot reach 180 words because there simply aren't enough facts. The sources only provide: name, dates, birth place, profession, known as, and credit count.
Strategy: I must expand on the existing facts using encyclopedic phrasing without adding new information. I will describe his professional scope and biographical details in a formal manner. However, if the facts are insufficient to reach the word count, I have a dilemma. Usually, in these prompts, the user expects me to follow the word count. But if I invent facts to hit the word count, I violate the primary instruction ("You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES").
