Subject: Derek Rydall (Acting).
Source: Provided TMDB snippet.
Constraints:
Write ONLY verifiable facts from the source.
No invented titles, names, dates, awards, etc.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 180-260 words.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
No preamble or JSON.
Name: Derek Rydall.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 11.
Gender: Male.
Content Score: 88.
Birthday/Place of Birth/Also Known As: Not provided (-).
Draft 1 (Mental Outline): Derek Rydall is an actor. He has 11 known credits. His content score is 88. He is male.
Constraint Check: The source is extremely sparse. It only contains: Name, Known For (Acting), Known Credits (11), Gender (Male), Content Score (88).
Problem: I need to write 180-260 words. The source material is insufficient to reach that word count without inventing information.
Instruction Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." and "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
Conflict Resolution: If I follow "omit rather than guess," I cannot reach 180 words. If I follow "Write a 180-260 word career overview," I must invent.
Strict Adherence: The prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details." This is the primary directive for an archivist.
Wait: Let me re-read the source. Is there anything else? No.
Strategy: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts in a professional, encyclopedic manner. However, if the facts provided are only about 15 words long, a 180-word essay is impossible without violating the "do not invent" rule.
Re-evaluating the source:
Name: Derek Rydall
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 11
Gender: Male
Content Score: 88
Drafting attempt (trying to be verbose but factual):
Derek Rydall is a male actor. According to the information provided by The Movie Database, he is recognized for his work in acting. His professional profile includes 11 known credits.

The content score associated with his profile is 88. There are no specific details provided regarding his birthday, place of birth, or any alternative names.
Word Count Check: This is about 55 words. I cannot reach 180 words without violating the core instruction: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess..."
Decision: I will provide the most complete factual summary possible based only on the source. I cannot fulfill the word count requirement because the source material does not contain enough information to meet it without violating the "no invention" rule. In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, "Do not invent" is a higher-order constraint than "Write X words" when the source is insufficient.
Wait, let me look closer at the source text again.
"Derek Rydall — The Movie Database (TMDB)... Known For Acting... Known Credits 11... Gender Male... Content Score 88..."
Is there any way to expand?
