Techniques Used To Do Research

so till now I have two techniques used for research : mathematical validation of a solution and creating a toy problem. What are the other techniques? :

• pattern recognition
• problem solving
• toy problem
• mathematical proof of solution validation
• ablation studies
• failure cases
• thought experiments : what if book
• cross-subject theory experimentation like game theory to multimodality
