Enti ansa na wobɛpaw MTPE no, hwɛ fibea no mu: so nsɛmfua no hyia, so kasamu nhyehyɛe no mu da hɔ, so kasa mu nsɛm pii wɔ hɔ? Sɛ wɔansiesie wɔn a, ntease biara nni adwumayɛ a etu mpɔn ho asɛm a wɔbɛka.

FangService runs a content classification pass at project start and prices accordingly — sorting out which content a ɛfata nnipa mmɔdenbɔ no yɛ bo a eye sen sɛ wɔbɛka ne nyinaa akɔ fam.

Ɛho nhia sɛ MTPE ne nnipa nkyerɛase a edi mũ ntam a wɔpaw no yɛ atemmu frɛ; source quality na esi ho gyinae.
