OPR, Sharkscope, Pokertracker graphs,

watch them play, HHs/PxF replays.
Beyond that talk to them. Make sure you get a good vibe. Make sure you are confident that they will play within the agreement. If you are not 100% confident, my recommendation is not to stake them. If you'd like to anyway, have them sign something (typically I offer to sign an agreement saying any losses incurred outside of the staking agreement as verified by sharkscope or OPR I will refund in full and backer has the option to terminate the agreement immediately).
Once you have taken the horse on make sure you get updates -- verbal, tracking sites, or spreadsheets from the horse. And make sure you READ AND/OR FOLLOW UP ON THOSE UPDATES. Let the horse know you are a)interested, b)involved, c)watching them.
