Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (google/meridian) summary: Implemented a major budget optimization workflow refactor (separating grid creation from optimization, introducing OptimizationGrid dataclass, enhancing OptimizationResults, adding optimize() and scenarios, and aligning create_optimization_grid args); completed an Analyzer coordinate refactor to simplify data assignment for METRIC, GEO, TIME, and EVALUATION_SET_VAR; and strengthened data integrity through dtype enforcement (DataTensors to tf.float32). Fixed NaN propagation in the budget optimizer by aligning spend_grid and incremental_outcome_grid and added corresponding tests. All changes improve reliability, extensibility, and maintainability, enabling faster iteration on optimization scenarios and more trustworthy budget outcomes.
