Drafting Paragraph 1 (Personal/Background):
Kozo Nagayama is a male director born in Tokyo, Japan. He was born on July 22, 1956. He is also known by several other names, including Nagayama Kozo and Kôzô Nagayama. His stage name is recorded as 永山耕三.
Drafting Paragraph 2 (Career):
In his professional career, Nagayama is primarily known for his work in directing. According to his credits, he has 29 known credits in the industry. His work spans across movies and television shows.
Word Count Check:
The draft above is very short (approx 70 words). The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. It only contains basic biographical data and the number of credits. It does not contain specific movie titles, TV show titles, award names, or specific years of work.
Constraint Conflict Analysis:
The prompt asks for 180-260 words but provides a source that contains only about 40-50 words worth of information.
If I follow the instruction "Use ONLY facts present above" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach the 180-word minimum without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Strategy: I must expand on the provided facts using neutral, encyclopedic phrasing to get as close to the target as possible without inventing anything. However, if the source is too thin, I cannot meet the word count without hallucinating.
Re-evaluating the source:
