System and methods for processing information acquired from distributed sources are provided. The system may receive activity data samples from a plurality of collectors in a plurality of different independent locations in an organization. The system may identify baseline metrics associated with the activity data samples. The system may perform machine-based recognition of the activity data samples and associate the activity data samples with weight factors. The system may weigh the baseline metrics with the weight factors to generate adjusted metrics. The system may communicate activity information based on a logical combination of the activity data samples, context information recognized in the activity data samples, and metrics related to the activity information. Devices or networks connected with the system may receive and/or query a state of the organization including the activity data samples, context information recognized in the activity data samples, and/or metrics related to the activity information.
