You can use the larger anonymous investors in HYIP and post e-gold transaction numbers/batch IDs to verify that actual payments where made or not and have a running total of what the investment should have earned at plan.

My other idea was to go further than just do investment monitoring but dig deeper and come up with probabilities of whether an HYIP is a scam based on earnings/payouts AND whether WHOIS Info and Admin Email geographics match somewhat or not and whether the HYIP was open and honest in disclosing more information about themselves when contacted. Background investigations could be done if HYIP admins/owners voluntariliy give personal information. The idea is that you then either offer: a VERIFIED AND MONITORED list of good HYIPs for a fee to all to cover the costs of the background investigations and other work OR charge the HYIP that wants to be listed in the VERIFIED AND MONITORED list of good HYIPs for these costs of the additional investigations.

Some HYIP's out there go so far as to show you some of the strategies and investment vehicles they use to make their returns as per their plan and this counts towards a better scoring beyond the monitoring.
