  costOptimization:
    - Use JAXA Earth API for programmatic access — no registration or API key required, lowest friction entry point.
    - COG format enables HTTP range requests to fetch only the spatial extent and bands needed, reducing data transfer.
    - STAC catalog queries allow filtering by date/geography before downloading, avoiding unnecessary full-file retrievals.
    - For precipitation data, JAXA Earth API provides GSMaP at ~5km resolution; raw FTP registration provides finer-grained binary files if needed.
    - Cache responses locally for historical/archive queries — data does not change once published.
