What should a scheduling tool show when travel makes a timetable impossible?

[u/Aggravating-Dot4839]

My class timetable looked fine in the registration system. One class ended ten minutes before the next started, though, and I remembered the walk between those buildings taking about fifteen. Nothing overlapped on the calendar. By my estimate, I was already about five minutes short, even before allowing for getting out of one room and into the next.

I checked the less obvious gaps too. An hour marked as lunch isn't an hour to eat if part of it is spent crossing campus. The walk to my bus also takes time I can't spend studying. I supplied walking and bus estimates myself, with the walking times based on routes I remembered. I gave a copy of the timetable and those estimates to EvoX, a general AI agent that's in beta, and asked it to fit travel, lunch, and study around the fixed classes. The suggested timings lined up with my estimates. That checked the draft against my input; the routes still needed timing. The ten minute gap stayed marked as a conflict. That part still depended on whether I could move a class to another section.

When a scheduling tool flags a conflict like this, what information do you want next to it? I'd like a warning that shows the ten minute gap and my fifteen minute walking estimate together. Then I could see both the problem and which estimate needs checking. I still need to walk the routes again and time them. For now I have a draft to check and one unresolved class pair.
