Some tasks will require a keener eye and additional diligence, as do some positions. How you answer will offer insights into how you handle challenging situations. It also has the potential to reveal what you are comparing your experience to. If your example describes a unique and complicated situation, that might impress, as opposed to one where your extra thoroughness met the bare minimum of their expectations for the position they are hiring for.

"I have to be extra thorough from time to time when I have clients that are especially detail-oriented. Often, this will mean spending additional time on calls with them to highlight project changes. I am okay with being extra thorough when needed."

Discuss a time when you were extra thorough during a work-related project. Try to make it especially unique. The more examples, the better.

I am always thorough because I believe that the detail makes the champion! However, in the position, I have now all the contracts that my company signs with our customers are under my consideration. So I must be very careful and perfectionist when I read all these contracts.

This answer is a good start, and it's good that you mention the importance of exercising great caution in your current role. Rather than offering a general statement, I recommend giving a specific story-based example of a time when you were extra thorough.
