I don't know if the project will be a success (I hope) but I see two very positive things:
- the white paper is complete and professional
- the team is dynamic and available
And that's not bad enough in the current context!
In my eyes a project needs a lot more than the two things you have listed above to be a success. Having a complete whitepaper is great but isn't that the standard with all crypto/blockchain projects? I don't think it's that special.
You are right. I also think that a good project need a bit more than a whitepaper and a visible and active team. They need a good product and a vision. A good progress and further development is also important.
