People are writing longreads on the factors to analyze while investing in ICOs. Huge lists are not very helpful, because it will take too much time to do the research and there are too many projects one has to look at to make sure one knows what ICOs are generally like. I wrote an article on medium with 5 easy steps to evaluate an ICO before investing:
https://medium.com/@nd.invest.ico/is-evaluation-of-icos-really-that-hard-eb063e1eb73f. Do you agree or disagree with the points I made there? What are the main factors you look at when you evaluate an ICO?
All your points raised in medium are very valid particularly Step 1. We can actually know more about a particular ICO by reviewing what others have said about it on a relevant thread in the Announcements section.
