Many of the positions at the company require "attention to detail, strong data analysis, problem-solving, and active listening skills." So these skills, even when not mentioned in the job posting, are likely standard requirements. So when answering questions such as these, explain your routine, the steps and measures you take to ensure the accuracy of your work, and how you adhere to the work standard you set out for yourself. Walking your interviewer through your approach, or sharing your lens, will assure them you are diligent and submit good, clean work.

"Consistently. Especially when something distracts me from my work. For example, when my work is interrupted, I have a variety of earmarks that I employ, depending on the task at hand. This allows me to pick up where I left off and avoid unnecessary rework. But I will always pad the job and scrutinize my work for some additional diligence."
