Hi, Tom. Thanks for pointing this out. We’ll make a correction now.

We use “consequently” when discussing the reason why something took place, while “subsequently” concerns the order in which events took place. A common mistake is using “subsequently” instead of “consequently” when no causation has been discussed.
It seems to be from your definition that when no causation has been established, the word subsequently should be used.
