We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the description includes many paragraphs. We need to identify sections: About the role (maybe the intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Be Doing), Requirements (What does Leidos need from me?), Qualifications (maybe Favorable?), Skills (maybe some?), Benefits (Pay And Benefits), Pay (Pay Range), Schedule (none). Also maybe "About Leidos" but that's company info, not required? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to extract content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling..." etc. Also remove "Step 10 is ancient history..." etc. Also remove "Original Posting August 20, 2026" etc. Also remove "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change..." etc. Also remove "About Leidos" maybe? It's company overview but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Leidos" is company description, not role. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview may be okay but not required. However we have limited sections; we could include "About the role" using the introductory paragraph(s) before responsibilities. Let's parse. The posting text: "Description Looking for an opportunity to make an impact? At Leidos, we deliver innovative solutions through the efforts of our diverse and talented people who are dedicated to our customers’ success. We empower our teams, contribute to our communities, and operate sustainably. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community. If this sounds like the kind of environment where you can thrive, keep reading! The Leidos Intelligence Sector combines technology-enabled services and mission software capabilities in the areas of cyber, logistics, security operations, and decision analytics to support our defense and intel customers’ mission to defend against evolving threats around the world. Your greatest work is ahead! The Intelligence Sector seeks highly qualified and trained Cyberspace Operational Planners to support Department of Defense Joint Planning processes that underpin United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) operations. Individuals will engage in Cyberspace Operational Planning activities supporting Leidos on-site contract support to USCYBERCOM J3 (Operations), Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), and Joint Task Force-Ares (JTF-ARES). This opportunity is in anticipation of a potential future contract award." Then "What You’ll Be Doing" list of responsibilities (many sentences). Then "What does Leidos need from me?" list of requirements. Then "Favorable If You Have" list of favorable qualifications. Then "Desired Certifications:" list. Then "If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling..." (marketing fluff). Then "Step 10 is ancient history..." (marketing). Then "Original Posting August 20, 2026" (metadata). Then "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change..." (metadata). Then "Pay Range Pay Range $59,150.00 - $106,925.00" (pay). Then "The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only..." (disclaimer). Then "About Leidos" paragraph. Then "Pay And Benefits" section with benefits list. Then "Securing Your Data" (scam warning) - remove. Then "Commitment to Non-Discrimination" (EEO) - remove. We need to include sections only if real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role and sector. That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: The "What You’ll Be Doing" bullet-like sentences (though not bullet list). We need to convert to
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a series of sentences separated by line breaks? We'll treat each sentence as a list item. - Requirements: The "What does Leidos need from me?" list (Active Top Secret clearance..., Associates degree..., 2 or more years..., etc). We'll convert each line to
  • . - Qualifications: Could be the "Favorable If You Have" list (Bachelors degree..., Intimate familiarity..., Prior experience..., Demonstrated experience..., Experience with Space-enabled CO., Joint Professional Military Education..., Formal training..., Completion..., Familiar with art of Data Science..., Familiar with Microsoft Power BI..., Desired Certifications...). Might be considered Qualifications or Skills. The instruction includes Qualifications and Skills sections. We could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for technical skills. But we can also combine into Qualifications if content is specific. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Qualifications (favorable) and Skills (certifications, data science, Power BI). But we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. - Benefits: The "Pay And Benefits" section includes benefits list: competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. Also maybe more details at website but we have that list. So we can create Benefits section with those items. - Pay: The Pay Range line. - Schedule: Not present, so omit. We must not include sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like scam warning, EEO, etc. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the sections we include. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Thus produce something like:

    About the role

    Looking for an opportunity to make an impact? At Leidos, we deliver innovative solutions through the efforts of our diverse and talented people who are dedicated to our customers’ success. ...

    But we need to preserve all substantive information from that intro. Let's extract the intro text exactly (maybe we can keep as is). The intro includes multiple sentences. We'll combine into a paragraph. We need to be careful not to include marketing fluff like "If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling..." etc. That's after the Desired Certifications. So we stop before that. Also we need to exclude "Original Posting August 20, 2026" etc. Now let's extract each section content. **About the role**: The text before "What You’ll Be Doing". Let's copy: "Looking for an opportunity to make an impact? At Leidos, we deliver innovative solutions through the efforts of our diverse and talented people who are dedicated to our customers’ success. We empower our teams, contribute to our communities, and operate sustainably. Everything we do is built on a commitment to do the right thing for our customers, our people, and our community.

This opportunity is in anticipation of a potential future contract award." We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. That seems fine. **Responsibilities**: The bullet list under "What You’ll Be Doing". Let's extract each sentence (they are separated by line breaks). The text: "Engage in approved plans development and staffing processes within collaborative environment to enable range of Cyberspace Operations (CO) according to USCYBERCOM planning guidance and applicable Joint publications.
