If you work on ungraded, the grading will be approved in half a day, every retouch will be super easy, thinking “why did we even bother with all that roundtripping”
If you work on graded they will have 400 comments regarding grading fixes and you end up in a total origanisational nightmare and having to do grading fixes on top of graded files.
Then the cutdowns arent cutdowns and you end up having to send new plates to color
You cant do it right, its impossible. no matter what you do you are fcked
