might i suggest a starting point as a simple check and alert for:  
member has a prefix but does not have any IRR objects/ROAs for said 
prefix.
(and then extend to what’s in BGP.  (hat tip to irrexplorer))

i understand you’ve listed this as a first release, but i don’t see 
extending this to AS-SET making it a lot more difficult ?
