How to do a quick scan of CIM and come out with key investment merits/risks?

For a 100+ pages CIM and a tight time constraint of 30 - 60mins, how does one cut through all the BS, understand the business model and, extract only the relevant information to making an investment analysis?

What are good tips to share for budding analysts?
