We present a global likelihood function in the space of dimension-six Wilson coefficients in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). The likelihood includes contributions from flavour-changing neutral current B decays, lepton flavour universality tests in charged- and neutral-current B and K decays, meson-antimeson mixing observables in the K, B, and D systems, direct CP violation in K -> {\pi}{\pi}, charged lepton flavour violating B, tau, and muon decays, electroweak precision tests on the Z and W poles, the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron, muon, and tau, and several other precision observables, 265 in total. The Wilson coefficients can be specified at any scale, with the one-loop running above and below the electroweak scale automatically taken care of. The implementation of the likelihood function is based on the open source tools flavio and wilson as well as the open Wilson coefficient exchange format (WCxf) and can be installed as a Python package. It can serve as a basis either for model-independent fits or for testing dynamical models, in particular models built to address the anomalies in B physics. We discuss a number of example applications, reproducing results from the EFT and model building literature.

In Search of an Invisible $Z^\prime$
Anomaly cancellation forces every Z-pole-invisible, anomaly-free Z' to couple to valence quarks and at least two charged lepton flavours, ensuring LHC coverage.

Search for the $\boldsymbol{B^0 \to K^0_{\rm S} \tau^+ \tau^-}$ decay
No evidence is found for B0→K0Sτ+τ−; the first upper limit, B<8.3×10^-4 at 90% CL, is set, and the isospin-combined B→Kτ+τ− limit becomes 5.4×10^-4.

The KSVZ Atlas: A Unified SMEFT-ALP Framework
A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.

Can Effective $4-$Quark Operators Describe Signals of a Supersymmetric Diquark Model at the LHC?
For an RPV supersymmetric sbottom diquark model, SMEFT 4-quark operators describe LHC top-pair data only for squark masses so large that the effects are unobservable, so SMEFT bounds cannot constrain this model.

An EWPD SMEFT likelihood for the LHC -- and how to improve it with measurements of W and Z boson properties
The work supplies a modular SMEFT likelihood for EWPD that includes NLO effects and five input schemes, then combines it with LHC measurements to tighten constraints on lepton-flavor universality and quark coupling as...

From DUNE Sensitivities to UV Models: Implications of Flavour Constraints
Simple weakly-coupled BSM models cannot produce a DUNE-visible e-tau semileptonic NSI: flavour constraints cap C_lq,1311 at about 1e-2 TeV^-2, nearly an order below DUNE's reach.

Probing mixed-state dark matter and flavor observables in a scalar-assisted baryonic gauge theory
Adding a colored scalar S1 to a U(1)_B dark matter model correlates dark matter freeze-out with b→s μ+μ− observables, but the flavor amplitudes use a Z'–muon coupling that the model's zero-kinetic-mixing limit forbids.

Lepton Flavor Universality tests through angular observables of $\overline{B}\to D^{(\ast)}\ell\overline{\nu}$ decay modes
Angular observables in B→D(*)ℓν decays can distinguish Lorentz structures of new physics contributions fitted to measured R(D(*)) ratios, even when those ratios agree with the Standard Model.

In the μνSSM, B→X_s l+l− is dominated by charged-Higgs C7 in the low-q² region and C9/C10 Z-penguins in the high-q² region, with the forward-backward asymmetry set by C7C10 and C9C10 interference.

SMEFT global fit to b→s anomalies with complex Wilson coefficients shows left-handed four-fermion operators preferred and demonstrates that U(3)^5 or U(2)^5 flavor symmetry restores consistency with kaon data.
