Do you have directors make more than very tiny tweaks on a treatment before sharing with client if they are NOT the creative reco? Feels like requests for a full round of revisions, as if the director is on the clock already, have been increasing.

Only if it’s a director we want. And the only real tweaks we’ve ever asked for is either omit something or add a little more to a specific section. If you have to ask for MAJOR tweaks, then that director doesn’t get your concept and shouldn’t /won’t be recommended.

PS: I’ve had a director who was our first choice in a triple bid situation totally bomb the treatment while our 2nd or 3rd choices completely nailed it. It does happen.

sometimes we ask director if it’s ok if we make a couple tweaks for them before sharing w clients. sometimes they’re fine because you know what the clients want to see, sometimes they say no and they rather do it themselves

we had a director who is great and is our first recco, but there are typos on a few places (we saw it as a good sign that he writes everything himself, hahah) so we just asked if we can fix it for him

This is definitely the way when done properly and delicately.

I’ve had CDs basically rewrite and restructure the whole treatment and it’s awkward as fuck (a) because you have to tell the and egomaniac CD they are going to make it worse and (b) you have a director who needs to rewrite their work with changes that are poor.

In all seriousness though, often treatments are way more information than a client needs. So cutting it back is often needed.

If he’s not the recco you shouldn’t be making any tweaks just leave it alone. Stop bothering them.
