We analyzed how to test flavor and helicity structures of the corresponding amplitudes in view of future data, motivated by the recent hints of lepton flavor universality violation observed in semileptonic B decays. The general assumption that non-standard effects are controlled by a U(2)5 flavor symmetry, minimally broken as in the Standard Model Yukawa sector, leads to stringent predictions on leptonic and semileptonic B decays. Future measurements will allow to prove or falsify this general hypothesis independently of its dynamical origin.
