Career overview

Subject: Greg Colton (Directing).
Task: Write a 180-260 word career overview.
Constraints: Use ONLY provided facts. No invented details. Plain prose only. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. 2-3 short paragraphs.
Word Count Target: 180-260 words.
Name: Greg Colton (also known as Gregory A Colton).
Known For: Directing.
Known Credits: 5.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: October 22, 1976.
Age: 49 years old.
Place of Birth: Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The source provides very little information about his actual career (only that he is known for directing and has 5 known credits).
The source provides personal information (birth date, place of birth, age, gender, aliases).
Problem: The word count requirement is 180-260 words. The provided facts are extremely sparse. If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 180 words without being extremely repetitive or "fluffy," but the instructions say "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "Do not invent...".
Fact 1: Greg Colton is a male director.
Fact 2: He is also known as Gregory A Colton.
Fact 3: He has 5 known credits in directing.
Fact 4: He was born in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Fact 5: His birthday is October 22, 1976.
Fact 6: He is 49 years old.
Drafting Attempt 1:
Greg Colton is a male director who is also known as Gregory A Colton. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, USA. His birthday is October 22, 1976, making him 49 years old.

In his professional career, Colton is known for directing. He currently has 5 known credits in this field.
Word Count Check: This is about 50 words. The prompt asks for 180-260 words.
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview but provides only enough information for about 40-50 words of factual content. If I try to reach 180 words, I will violate the instruction "Do not invent... or plot points" and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Strategy: I must attempt to expand the prose as much as possible using only the provided facts, perhaps by rephrasing or structuring the biographical and professional information, but I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information or being extremely redundant.
Wait, let me look closer at the source.

Is there anything else? No.
Decision: I will write the most professional, encyclopedic summary possible using the facts provided. However, I cannot fulfill the 180-260 word count requirement without violating the "do not invent" and "only verifiable facts" rules. In such cases, the "only verifiable facts" and "do not invent" rules are the primary constraints for an archivist. However, if I write a very short response, I might fail the user's specific length instruction.
