In short
First state the relationship between the propositions. A wrong connector misnames a relationship; an argument gap lacks a reason needed for the conclusion; repetition can name a valid relationship more often than necessary. Replacing every donc with a synonym cannot supply a missing premise.

Each sorting item includes the intended relationship or the information available. Diagnose the problem before editing. The goal is a readable and defensible progression, rather than the largest possible variety of transitions.

Make the repair proportionate
Deux participants ont apprécié l’essai ; ce retour favorable ne permet pas encore de conclure pour l’ensemble des habitants.
Two participants liked the trial; this favourable feedback does not yet support a conclusion about all residents.
Sometimes several problems coexist. An unsupported universal conclusion remains unsupported after you remove a repeated connector. Conversely, replacing an inaccurate consequence marker with pourtant can resolve a relation that the surrounding text already explains. Work from meaning towards wording.
