What criteria do you look for when you research a token/crypto? And what tools do you use to do your investigation? Please provide as much details, examples, walk throughs, tutorial links as possible.

After, checking the smart contract and the danger involved the next thing I look into is the project concept, the solution it introduced, the use case, and the possible future traffic it will get in years to come.
For coin, I will check the team, and their private and public support before I later look into the concept, use case, solution it introduced, and future possible traffic. I mostly use CMC and CG for coin.
Like if you want to know what percentage of a token is being held for a few VC's, developers, initial investors, etc.? Or how do you monitor inflows and outflows over a period of time?
De.fi/scanner will provide you with almost the exact information.
