Risk identification process has 6(six) categories of Tools & Techniques;
1.Expert judgment, 2.Data gathering, 3.Data analysis, 4.Interpersonal and team skills, 5.Prompt lists, and 6.Meetings.

In addition, the typical 7(seven) techniques can be grouped into Data gathering and Data analysis as follows from the PMBOK Guide 6th edition;
- Data gathering (3): "Brainstorming", "Checklists" and "Interviews"
- Data analysis (4): "Root cause analysis", "Assumption and constraint analysis", "SWOT analysis", "Document analysis"

What is your grouping by data gathering and analysis for the other thirteen (13) technique examples from Appendix D.2 of the Practice Standard for Project Risk Management?

For example from my point of view;
- Data gathering (8): “Delphi group”, “Lessons-to-be-learned review”, “Industry Knowledge Base”, “Nominal Group Technique”, “Prompt Lists”, “Questionnaire”, “RBS”, and “WBS Review”
- Data analysis (5): “Influence diagram”, “Cause and Effect (Ishikawa) Diagrams”, “FEMA(Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) / Fault Tree Analysis”, “Force Field Analysis”, “System Dynamics”

Some of those techniques might cross the boundary between gathering & analysis. For example, Nominal Group Technique is a decision-making approach so I'd put that under analysis.

Similarly Ishikawa diagrams can actually help people identify new risks.
