Machine learning algorithms are good for cheaper replacement of cheap customer service agents, but they are not trustable.

For important things (and having accurate and precise time is an important thing) you need to know in advance that the task will be completed correctly; you actually need to know why it will be completed correctly.

Anything based exclusively on old data, with no formal model, simply cannot give you any guarantee.
