                                             The Government’s Public Web Total Volume System aims to prevent information redun-
                                             dancy and enhance operational efficiency by systematically managing the number of
                                             public websites. While APCC’s segmented service structure was effective in delivering spe-
                                             cialized climate data, the implementation of this policy presented a strategic opportunity
                                             to substantially strengthen inter-service connectivity.

                                             Rather than viewing the total volume limit as a constraint, APCC leveraged it as a pivotal
                                             catalyst to integrate and upgrade its climate services into a unified, platform-based archi-
