Running it, start to finish
- Ask what the reader must supply between each pair of paragraphs.
- Classify each gap before fixing it.
- Read the first and last sentences in sequence as a final check.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Finds the steps a writer supplies automatically and a reader cannot.
- Distinguishes gaps that need a bridge from ones that need reordering.
- Flags connective words asserting relationships the content does not support.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Read only first and last sentences. The argument should follow from those alone. Where it does not, the gap is immediately visible.
- Do not paper over with 'therefore'. It disguises a non-sequitur and makes the reader doubt their own reading rather than your logic.
- Consider reordering first. An increasingly laboured bridge usually means the material is in the wrong sequence.
