Problem: I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess").
Re-evaluating the constraints:
"Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
"Use ONLY facts present above."
"If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I follow the "ONLY facts" rule, I cannot reach 180 words.
If I follow the "180-260 word" rule, I must invent facts.
