In this talk, we present the latest R(D(*)) measurements from the Belle II experiment. Additionally, we explore a likelihood based combination of different analyses relying on orthogonal selections, that goes beyond the combination methodology of HFLAV. We discuss a list of joint systematic uncertainties, that should be decomposed in eigenvariations, relevant for such combinations. We demonstrate a combination using different MC mock analyses implementing the procedure. We also highlight a python based tool that can be used for eigendecompositions of non-trivial systematic uncertainties. 000004537 8560_ $$fdjaffe@bnl.gov 000004537 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/4537/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2024-123.pdf
