Of course. Many of the these techniques are specific to certain parts of the risk assessment process. The document is unfortunately paywalled, but risk assessment can be said to have these three parts:
Risk identification
Risk analysis
Consequence
Likelihood
Level of risk
Risk evaluation
Risk treatment is missing here becacuse it’s sort of a separate process outside of risk assessment (but is tied to risk evaluation), and ISO 31010 specifically addresses the risk assessement phase. “Brainstorming” as a class of techniques and can take different shapes and form (in my previous work we used to have structured sessions to generate “what-if scenarios”), and they specifically address mainly 1 and some of 2a above.
But as Jan pointed out in his comment, perhaps safety cases are a meta-framework and not the technique itself, so the quality of a safety case depends on the quality of the evidence put forth alongside the arguments, and this quality may be related to the suitability and implementation of the specific techniques used to generate the evidence.
