Rather than go through all this, yet still get scammed, it's wise and best to simply invest in the BTC and very few well know alternatives.
Reading whitepapers don't help to spot a scam project, the best way to do that is to avoid them altogether(by investing in BTC).
reading whitepaper and roadmap is waste they put unreal goals and start scamming , I suggest is watch how team is doing about project only about project don't give importance to listing in exchanges and other site , see partnerships , and developing about project ideas
