• Use up 5 of the 7 available even numbers.
• Force a pattern of odd and even numbers among the remaining cells.

The 2 remaining even numbers fit only one way and:
• Daisy-play pictureschain upward to fill out all but the bottom row.
• Leave a set of numbers with only one pair that can produce consecutive numbers in the bottom right triangle.

The bottom left corner shakes out from there. (And, yeah, the original path to solution involved some unnecessary trial and error.)
