FlightRisk
FlightRisk scores the disruption risk of a US domestic flight departing today or tomorrow, then shows its work: weather at both airports, active FAA delay programs, storms along the route and whether the inbound aircraft is where it needs to be. No black box. Every point on the score has a reason next to it.
