Grammar Question

Is it "Actually Would" or "Would Actually" in the sentence below?

There's a very good reason why I'm interested in the evaluation process, and
that is because I "actually would" like to know if I'm meeting company standards and expectations.

@mix-bell,
I don't know if any other members will agree with me, but I would remove "actually would and would actually" and replace with either 'need' or 'have' and drop the other word 'like'.

i.e. "I'm interested in the evaluation process because I have/need to know if I'm meeting company standards and expectations." (thats what I would do, you're examples aren't incorrect because people will understand the sentence..my preference would be to get rid of a few words and simplify it.

Others may have a better explanation for you, I'm sure they will weigh in. Good luck.

I think you mean to say that you wonder if you are actually meeting standards...

@mix-bell,
There is a danger here that your comment could be considered an indictment of the process. It might not be received well if you imply that the process is just a rubber stamp but you want more.

"There's a very good reason why I'm interested in the evaluation process, and

@mix-bell,
In my opinion, first one is correct to some extent.
