Can the creator freeze your wallet so you cannot sell? If freeze authority is disabled, your tokens remain yours to move.

Does the creator also control the liquidity pool? If yes, they may be able to remove both supply and liquidity at the same time.

How concentrated is the supply in the largest wallet? Lower concentration is healthier, while oversized holders can move the market quickly.

How old is this token? Tokens that are only minutes old are generally much riskier than tokens that have been trading for days or weeks.

Has the creator launched tokens before, and how did those launches end? A creator with multiple failed or suspicious launches is a major red flag.

Did the creator bundle the launch with insider buys in one atomic transaction? That can be used to secure an unfair early position before regular buyers enter.
