Explanation
上で is used to indicate that one thing happens after or within the context of something else. It often marks the condition, prerequisite, or basis for an action, decision, or evaluation. It is common in official or formal writing, reports, and explanations, and is frequently used when describing steps taken after careful consideration, or something that occurs once a prior factor has been satisfied. It can also convey that the following action is based on the situation described by the preceding noun or clause. Typical usage patterns include describing actions taken after examining or considering something, or actions constrained by a specific context.
