Not an unreasonable request.

Dozy wont need to design much, the data required is all onboard the aircraft and just needs assimilation to provide x,y,z vectors corresponding to the actual air-data provided on a "good" day. On a "bad" day the disparity between an AD's CAS/TAS and Vsyn will result in the warning you require along with identifying the faulty AD(s). No common mode problems or polling!

@DozyWannabe,
The origin of Vsyn is a derivative of the Speed Stability - US Patent 4767085 - taken out by Boeing in 1989.
