That sounds like a job for your RP software.  

For example, RIPE's rpki-validator-3 allows its operator to configure
whitelist entries.  After configuring a whitelist entry -- which is in
essence a local ROA -- the RIPE software will show which current
routes known to RIPE RIS would be validated or invalidated by the
whitelist ROA.

If that kind of 'what if?' analysis is important to you, you should
tell your favorite RP project.  (For my money, it's OK to have this,
but other RP features / capabilities are more important to me.)
