The precise word eludes me, but I remember that it appeared in the context of a sentence similar to this one:
That is a valid choice, but in making it, you will create unintended side-effects; _________, you will need to choose wisely.
I am sure it is not any of these three words/phrases:
- consequently
- as well
- furthermore
adverb
For that reason; consequently:
ODO
"Accordingly" would work as well, although you may dislike having two words ending in -ly. The same objection of euphony applies to your own "consequently", which you are rejecting, although otherwise it seems to me perfectly okay in that blank.
