〜にしたがって V-dict + にしたがって;N(変化・指示・規則)+ にしたがって/にしたがい
Two uses: proportional change ("as … does"), like につれて but stiffer, and "in accordance with" instructions, rules or a manual. Formal in both senses.
上へ行くにしたがって、景色がよくなった。 The higher we went, the better the view became.
〜とともに N + とともに;V-dict + とともに(同時・並行・変化)
"Together with," "at the same time as," or "as … changes." A formal written alternative to 〜と一緒に that also links two simultaneous states or parallel changes.
家族とともに新しい生活を始めた。 I started a new life together with my family.
〜次第 V-masu形 + 次第;動作性N + 次第(後件に過去形・状態は不可)
"As soon as," attached to a verb stem. Business and formal speech; the second clause must be future (a report, request or intention) and cannot be in the past tense.

〜次第だ / 〜次第で N + 次第だ(文末)/次第で/次第では(後に結果が続く)
"Depends on": the outcome is decided by the noun before 次第. 次第だ ends the sentence, 次第で/次第では continues it. Neutral to formal.
行くかどうかは天気次第だ。 Whether we go depends on the weather.
〜上で V-ta + 上で;N + の + 上で(意志的な行為に使う)
"After doing X, then Y," where X is a deliberate preliminary step whose result shapes Y. Formal, common in business and official notices; not for accidental sequences.

〜上に V/i-adj 普通形 + 上に;na-adj な・である + 上に;N の・である + 上に
"On top of that," adding a second point in the same direction — two good things or two bad things, never a mix. Slightly formal but common in everyday explanation.
この店は安い上に、料理もおいしい。 This restaurant is cheap, and the food is good on top of that.
