Sentence: From the article, it is difficult to assess the activity of Mr. X

[Klpno]

Hello everyone

I'd like to ask if the following sentence is correct:

From the article, it is difficult to assess the activity of Mr. X as the president of the bank.

The intended meaning is as follows: the reader has read the article and it is difficult for him/her to understand/say if the activity of Mr. X (he is the president of the bank) was successful or not.

Then I would prefer,

From the article, it is difficult for readers to evaluate the activity of Mr. X, the president of the bank, as successful or not.

Haihao, thank you very much for your suggestion.
