Methods and systems are disclosed for a sequential federated query for information in a residential, commercial, and/or distributed system. A method of processing a sequential federated query for distributed systems may comprise receiving a sequential federated query; deconstructing the sequential federated query into query elements; identifying a Contextual-Characteristic Data Source (CCDS), a Transactional-Unstructured Data Source (TUDS), and a data organization parameter based on the query elements; generating a CCDS result data set from the CCDS based on the data organization parameter; processing the CCDS result data set to develop a TUDS query based on the data organization parameter; generating a TUDS result data set from the TUDS based on the developed TUDS query and the data organization parameter; generating a final sequential federated query data set based on the TUDS result data set and the data organization parameters; processing a formatted sequential federated query data set based on the processing of the final sequential federated query data set and the data organization parameter; and providing the formatted sequential federated query data set to a management system for action.
