Drafting for Word Count:
Current word count is low (~70 words). I need to expand using only provided facts to reach the 180-260 range.
Wait, looking at the sources again:
Source [1] says "Known Credits 11".
Source [1] says "Known For Sound".
Synopsis says "best known for his work scoring television shows, including The Mindy Project, BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, The Baby-Sitters Club, and Superstore."
Synopsis says "He is the brother of actor and producer B. J. Novak, and the son of author William Novak."
Problem: The provided text is very sparse. Reaching 180-260 words without inventing facts is extremely difficult if the source material is this limited.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
If I strictly follow "only verifiable facts" and "do not invent," I cannot reach 180 words because there simply aren't enough facts in the provided text.
