Subject: Ian Alden (Acting).
Source: Provided TMDB snippet.

Only verifiable facts from the source.
No invented details (roles, dates, awards, etc.).
180-260 words.
2-3 short paragraphs.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).

Name: Ian Alden.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 8.
Gender: Male.
Content Score: 50.
Birthday/Place of Birth: Not provided.
The source is extremely sparse. It only lists his name, gender, that he is known for acting, and that he has 8 known credits.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: It is impossible to write 180-260 words using only these facts without repeating them excessively or violating the "do not invent" rule.
Strategy: I must expand on the available information using formal, encyclopedic phrasing while strictly adhering to the "no invention" rule. However, if I strictly follow "only verifiable facts," I cannot reach 180 words without being incredibly repetitive.
Wait, the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
If I only have: "Ian Alden is a male actor with 8 known credits and a content score of 50," I cannot reach 180 words without fluff or repetition.
Let's look at the source again.
"Known For: Acting"
"Known Credits: 8"
"Gender: Male"
"Content Score: 50"
"Media: Movies, TV Shows" (implied by the categories listed under his name/overview).

Self-Correction: If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count constraint without violating the "no invention" and "only verifiable facts" constraints, I have a conflict. Usually, in these types of tasks, the user provides a rich text. Here, the text is a skeleton.

Let's try to construct a professional-sounding text that stays within the bounds.

Paragraph 1: Introduction. Ian Alden is a male professional in the entertainment industry. He is recognized for his work in acting.
Paragraph 2: Credits and metrics. His profile indicates that he has 8 known credits. His content score is listed as 50.

This is only about 40 words. I cannot reach 180 words without inventing details or being extremely repetitive.

Re-evaluating the prompt: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."

If I cannot fulfill the word count without violating the "only facts" rule, I must prioritize the "only facts" rule as it is the primary instruction for an archivist. However, usually, these prompts expect the model to stretch the prose. But "stretching" often leads to "inventing" or "guessing."

Let's see if I can use the structure of the TMDB page to add "facts."
He is listed on The Movie Database (TMDB).
His profile includes sections for Movies and TV Shows.
He is known for acting.
He has 8 known credits.
His gender is male.
His content score is 50.

Even with all this, it's very short.

Let's try to write it as formally as possible.

Ian Alden is a male individual whose professional profile is documented on
