Draft 1 Word Count Check:
P1: ~45 words.
P2: ~75 words.
Total: ~120 words.
Problem: I need to reach 180-260 words. I must expand using only the provided facts.
Expansion Strategy:
I can't invent facts. I can only elaborate on the existing facts by being more descriptive about the sources or the nature of his credits as presented. However, the sources are quite sparse.
Wait, the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the sources don't provide enough info to reach 180 words without fluff or invention, I have a problem.
Let's look closer at the sources.
