Season overview
Topic: "Money for Nothing" Season 16.
Task: Produce a JSON object with overview (160-220 words) and primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the text (except the array structure in JSON). Output valid JSON only.
Input Data:
TMDB Synopsis: "Series that transforms trash into valuable pieces."
Source 1: Entrepreneur Sarah Moore saves things from being dumped and transforms them into valuable pieces, making money for people who had no idea...
Source 2: IMDb link (no content).
Source 3: Entrepreneur Sarah Moore saves things from being dumped and transforms them into valuable pieces, making money for people who had no idea there was cash to be made from their trash.
Source 4: British consumer television series, hosted on a rotational basis by Sarah Moore, Jacqui Joseph and JJ Chalmers, and formerly by Jay Blades and EJ Osborne.
Source 5: Plex link (no content).
Overview: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary of Season 16.
Problem: The provided sources do not contain any information about "Season 16". They only describe the general premise of the series and its hosts.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of Season 16 because the source material does not mention Season 16 or any specific plot points for a specific season.
Resolution: I must write what is available. However, if I write a summary of the series instead of the season, I am technically deviating from the specific request for "this season's narrative arc". But if I invent a season 16 arc, I violate the core instruction.
Wait: The prompt says "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Strategy: Since there is no information about Season 16, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement for a Season 16 summary without inventing facts. However, in these types of RAG tasks, usually, the "Season 16" part is a placeholder or the user expects a summary of the series if season-
