Dear Danielle,
Following on from Ali's post, it might be useful and simplifying to first identify the purposes of design research.
This gives a boundary on any 'analytical methods map for design research'.
The range of purposes of design research are limited.
I suggest all the purposes of design research are included in the following four items:
1. To improve the prediction of behaviour of designed outputs
2. To improve the prediction of the behaviour of outcomes that result from designed outputs
3. To identify how humans and machines create designed outputs on the basis of their inputs
4. To reduce the number of design solutions and problems that are regarded as 'wicked' and 'hyper-wicked'
The above place clear bounds on any map of analytic methods of use in design research.
Best regards,
Terence

Dear all,
again, thank you for messages on and off list. Following some rousing cheers I’ve decided to go ahead and build on what’s out there, which means I will come back to individuals and the list to solicit further input. In the meantime, if anyone else would like to send through suggestions, please keep them coming.
best regards,
Danielle
