That list is hard to use.
E. G. How block size can help identify good ICO?

Sometimes doing researches wont make any difference if they are professional scammers they can fake everything from their identity to the whitepapers and fake roadmaps,but they wont fool us if you know something about codes and you find out that they dont have github activities or if they have they have shit fake programmers you will easily know that it will just scam people.

I'd say there are more ways than those. And the list might as well be never-ending since you could examine everything in an ICO.

With that being said, you learn from experience and you start to identify ones eventually by simply reading the whitepaper.

For me its about token economics followed with the idea the team is implementing using the blockchain and also verifying that if the team actually needs blockchain to implement it or not. Then comes the team and I also look at what kind of advisors they are backed up with.

[ICO Lancer]

What I mainly look for in ICO though is a minimum viable product, I've found that ICOs that have that are the least likely to be a scam.

[IgorShumilo]

Too many positions that do not give an evaluation to the project, I believe that this list should be edited and removed some.

[shazib083]

The good ICO can be determined by the experienced team behind the project and if the project has such valuable product to meet some different purpose like what CellBlocks (cellblocks.io) is doing, then its definitely will be a good ICO.

[Acapri]

In general, the list agrees. It is always important to know who you work for, so as not to waste precious time.

Here's a cool video on how to quickly and efficiently research and ICO:

[kingvirtus09]

Sometimes we need to research to gain information and knowledge. We need some experience so that if someone ask you then you'll get easily to response what's good and bad of ICO. If ico has a real project and alot of community supporter than probably this ICO will boom.

While I applaud your detailed list, I personally don’t think anything can guarantee an A+ ICO.  For me, if the concept is unique or sufficiently niche enough, and the team has the right combination of skills and experience, then, and only then, look at the other aspects.
