Is there a good reason to necessarily update the same sketch you decided to serialize? I would suggest considering that sketch finalized. Perhaps, in your system these sketches would represent different time periods or different categories or something like that. Later on you may want to merge (union) some of them to obtain an estimate for a longer time frame or a total across categories and so on.
