Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has emerged as a foundational layer for delivering population-scale digital services. However, most existing systems emphasize technical efficiency while marginalizing social inclusion and accessibility. This paper evaluates the integration protocols required to transition socio-technical algorithms from theoretical models to functional public service utilities. Focusing on Integration, the research delineates a multi-tiered architecture designed to bridge the gap between ICT metrics and social equity. By utilizing a synchronized data persistence layer, the framework ensures that inclusive rankings are not merely transient calculations but become a permanent, auditable part of the Digital Public Infrastructure. The results demonstrate that a structured integration approach allows for real-time policy monitoring and enhances the transparency of digital public services. The study is structured around three core objectives: first, minimizing the digital divide by mathematically rewarding content accessibility; second, envisaging and delivering digital utilities that adapt to varying user infrastructures and experience levels, and third, engineering the technological protocols required to integrate these utilities into a persistent and auditable Digital Public Infrastructure.
