follows through

Sees it done

Follows through means completing an action after its initial stage, especially fulfilling a commitment or promise: He said he'd help, but he never follows through.

In sports like golf or tennis, it refers to continuing the motion of a swing after striking the ball.

The phrase implies seeing something to its intended conclusion rather than abandoning it midway.
