How it's used
Focuses on the specific methodology or style someone employs to achieve a result, often implying a degree of skill or a pattern of behavior. It is frequently used in professional or critical contexts to evaluate whether an approach is effective or appropriate. While it can describe neutral procedures, it is very commonly used to critique someone's tactical choices, especially when those choices seem questionable or manipulative.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical techniques in sports or arts, where 技巧 is more natural. Using 手法 to describe a simple physical action can sound overly formal or like you are analyzing a criminal's strategy.
