Wait, the word count requirement is 180-260 words. The current draft is very short (around 70 words). I need to expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. There are very few facts.

1. Name: Michael Caton-Jones

Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
If I only use the facts provided, I cannot reach 180 words without being extremely repetitive or "fluffy," but the instructions say "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose." Encyclopedic prose shouldn't be repetitive.
However, I must follow the word count constraint. If the source material is insufficient to reach 180 words without violating the "only verifiable facts" rule, I have a conflict.
Let's look at the source again.
