We perform a model-independent analysis of 
processes to test the standard model and probe flavor patterns of new physics. Constraints on Wilson coefficients are obtained from global fits to 
, 
, 
, and radiative 
decays data. The fits are consistent with the standard model but leave sizable room for new physics. Besides higher-statistics measurements and more data in theory-friendly bins of the dilepton mass, further complementary observables such as angular distributions of 
, 
or the baryonic modes 
, 
are necessary to resolve the significant degeneracy in the fit for the semileptonic four-fermion operators. Assuming minimal quark flavor violation, the 
global fit implies tight constraints on the 
couplings, and hence allows to test this paradigm with improved data. Another benefit from processes is to shed light on the B-anomalies in 
modes from a new angle. Specifically, studies of lepton flavor-specific and dineutrino modes are informative on the lepton flavor structure. Rare 
decays can be studied at high luminosity flavor facilities LHCb, Belle II, and a future Z-factory.
