About を前提に
を前提に is a pattern that combines the adverbial particle を, the noun 前提 ‘premise’ or ‘hypothesis’, and the case-marking particle に. It is often translated as ‘on the premise of (A)’, and marks something as the base thought or goal toward which some other (B) action is being taken.
This structure will be used following nouns, or verbs that have been nominalized with こと.
Alternatively, either にして or として may be used in place of に by itself. This only slightly changes the nuance in the same way that is to be expected of these structures. を前提にして will sound more active as ‘toward the premise of (A), (B)’. While を前提として sounds more passive as ‘with (A) as the premise (B).
