Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
Conflict: If I only use the facts provided, I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or using filler, but the instructions say "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent or guess."
Strategy: I must expand on the provided facts using formal, encyclopedic language to approach the word count, but I cannot add information not in the source. If the source is too short to reach 180 words without being repetitive or violating the "no invention" rule, I have a conflict. However, as an archivist, I will structure the biographical details provided into a formal summary.
Wait, looking at the source again. There is almost nothing there.
