1. Make it a decentralized organization that exists around the planet, not bound to a specific place. (IDW seems to be moving in this direction, which is good).
2. Make it primarily exist to support Sonic in his adventures. For comparison, see Speedwagon Foundation in Jojo. They're a group that exists primarily to assist the protagonists with clean up, transportation, resources, and technology.
3. Make restoration centric OCs fade into the background. They're given fuck-all to do. Jewel can exist as a bureaucrat but that's it. Most of them are now no-name forces OC creator blobians.
4. Operating under the assumption that Sally is 'never ever' coming back, make Lanolin the main mascot of the restoration. Give her a palmtop computer ala NICOLE. Have her use a variety of technology to keep up with the main cast and accompany them on episodic adventures when fitting. Give her more screentime with the core 4. Make her feel like an essential member of the cast. Push her heavily in stories where she makes sense. Have it so that way Sonic isn't afraid to disobey her and she continuously narratively jobs to the wind. Like SatAM's Sally.
Make Lanolin more kind-hearted and genuinely likable. Give her the 'motherly aura' that's sorely lacking from her current depiction. Make her a 'mascotified' version of Archie Sally with heavy inspirations from SatAM Sally and the transformation the game cast took from classic to modern to develop a functional version of the character that works within Sonic's world.
