Current word count: ~45 words.
Target: 90-130 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. I must use only the provided facts.
Wait, the instruction says "Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile". If the source doesn't have enough info to reach 90 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule, I have a conflict. However, I must prioritize the "Use ONLY facts present above" and "never invent" rules. If I can't reach 90 words without inventing, I should try to expand the phrasing of the existing facts neutrally, but I cannot add new facts.
Let's see if I can expand the phrasing:
Robert Ackroyd, who is also known as Rob Ackroyd, is a male actor.

Drafting Paragraph 1:
Robert Ackroyd is an actor known for his work in film and television. He was born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England, UK. He was born on October 7, 1982, and is 44 years old. He is also known by the name Rob Ackroyd.

Reviewing against constraints:
The source is very sparse. To reach 180-260 words without inventing facts is extremely difficult. Let's look at the source again.

Gender: Male
Birthday: October 7, 1982
Age: 44
Birthplace: Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England, UK
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 12
Content Score: 88
Problem: The source contains very little information. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES," I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or being incredibly verbose, which might violate "neutral, encyclopedic prose."
Attempt 2 (Expanding with available facts):
Robert Ackroyd is an actor whose professional credits include twelve known entries. He is also referred to by the name Rob Ackroyd. According to his profile, he was born in Hitchin, which is located in Hertfordshire, England, UK. His birth date is recorded as October 7, 1982, making him 44 years old.
Ackroyd is recognized for his work in acting. His presence in the industry is reflected in a content score of 88 on The Movie Database. His biographical information identifies him as male. The scope of his known credits encompasses both movies and television shows.
Word Count Check:
Paragraph 1: ~55 words.
Paragraph 2: ~45 words.
Total: ~100 words.
Constraint Conflict: The user asks for 180-260 words but provides a source that only contains about 40-50 words of actual data. If I invent anything to hit the word count, I violate the primary instruction: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported... You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Decision: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count is impossible to meet without violating the core integrity of the task (not inventing facts). However, I will try to be as descriptive as possible with the provided facts to get closer to the
