Utility and of course the People behind the project(the Team) because aside from everything it is their work that will bring the project into success
So look at the team instead of everything mate
.
Team is important and the way they are able to respond to queries is paramount. I know projects that will not respond to basic queries for a while and if you see projects taking time, then it is time to move on rather than expecting them to change.
to OP? just Buy the ranking coins because that will save you from completely losing .
This is not a benchmark you can choose because the ranking keeps on changing, projects with a real use case should be your pick rather than speculative projects and you will understand if they are able to deliver things in time or at least have a valid reason for the delay.
