Finishing is the stage where a project either lands cleanly or dies in a spreadsheet of revision notes. It's look continuity across deliverables, version control that actually protects the work, and delivery specs that match what the platform or broadcaster actually requires - not what someone assumed three weeks ago.

I focus on keeping the path from final edit to sign-off as short and frictionless as possible. Aesthetic decisions get balanced against compliance requirements and schedule reality, because a beautiful grade means nothing if it's rejected on ingest.
