By the time you reach the client round, the vendor has already confirmed you have the basic skills. The client wants to know three things: can you do this specific job, will you communicate clearly with the team, and will you need hand-holding.
What to prepare

Practice explaining a technical decision to someone non-technical. Prepare two thoughtful questions about the team and how they work.
