  We examine the constraints coming from incorporating the full Standard Model
gauge symmetry into the effective field theory description of flavor processes,
using semileptonic decays as paradigmatic examples. Depending on the dynamics
triggering electroweak symmetry breaking, different patterns of correlations
between the Wilson coefficients arise. Interestingly, this implies that flavor
experiments are capable of shedding light upon the nature of the Higgs boson
without actually requiring Higgs final states. Furthermore, the observed
correlations can simplify model-independent analyses of these decays.
