Abstract We point out the necessity to consider β-decay observables in resolutions of the W-boson anomaly in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory that go beyond pure oblique corrections. We demonstrate that present global analyses that explain the W-boson mass anomaly predict a large, percent-level, violation of first-row Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa unitarity. We investigate what solutions to the W-boson mass anomaly survive after including β-decay constraints.
