Shameless plug here. I work at SkyPath (https://skypath.io) we monitor and collect CAT data from 1000's of flights in real time and predict CAT events with the help of an AI model. Pilots are extremely happy with our solution, we signed several of the major airlines in US and have active evaluation programs with several others.

Signed?

What does authenticating have to do with it? Is there doubt about data providence?

Signed as in purchased a subscription for our service to provide data from their aircraft (using iPad sensors pilots are using) and get real time alerts and predictions regarding their flight and route.

Embedded systems or tack-on? This seems like the internal accelerometer would be adequate?

I see the site claims to save fuel, is this in the form of providing routing? I assume that patching data needs to get in to the autopilot system at some point, how does that work?

More predictable routes and minimizing encounters with CAT can indeed help reduce fuel consumption while maintaining safety. This is a relatively small saving for each flight which can add up to a big chunk at the end of the year.
