One of the techniques is Bayesian search https://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/dmr/Notes2019/7-Ba...

I don't know whether Bayesian search is currently being used to search for the unknown reservoir species from which SARS-COV-19 jumped to infect humans (assuming a natural cause).

Under this approach, the longer the search goes on, the more we may lessen our confidence in the prior assumption that it was a natural infection.
