I vaguely remember your posting - now you mention it. The solution looks on the surface to be relatively simple, either as a combo pitot/venturi replacement for each existing pitot, or as a standalone monitor.

If the ADIRUs were to monitor all pitots for agreement and likewise compare the venturi Pt ~ Ps, then you would have doubled your redundancy and half of the tubes would be detecting the IAS in a different manner than the other half. A small but significant improvement over the current situation.
