contents We explore transformations of the Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric and cosmological parameters that align with observational data, aiming to gain insights into potential extensions of standard cosmological models. We modify the FLRW metric by introducing a scaling factor, $e^{2Θ(a)}$ (the cosmological scaling function, CSF), which alters the standard relationship between cosmological redshift and the cosmic scale factor without affecting angular measurements or Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. Using data from DESI Year 1, Pantheon+ supernovae, and the Planck CMB temperature power spectrum, we constrain both the CSF and cosmological parameters through a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach. Our results indicate that the CSF model fits observational data with a lower Hubble constant (although it is compatible with the value given by Planck 2018 within 1$σ$) and is predominantly dark-matter-dominated. Additionally, the CSF model produces temperature and lensing power spectra similar to those predicted by the standard model, though with lower values in the CSF model at large scales. We have also checked that when fitting a CSF model without dark energy to the data, we obtain a more negative conformal function. This suggests that the CSF model may offer hints about missing elements and opens up a new avenue for exploring physical interpretations of cosmic acceleration.
