In this paper we present a global fit of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) dimension-six operators relevant to the top quark sector to all currently available top production cross-section measurements, namely parton-level top-pair and single top production at the LHC and the Tevatron. Higher order QCD corrections are modeled using differential and global K-factors, and we use novel fast-fitting techniques developed in the context of Monte Carlo event generator tuning to perform the fit. This allows us to provide new, fully correlated and model-independent bounds on new physics effects in the top sector from the most current direct hadron-collider measurements in light of the involved theoretical and experimental systematics. As a by-product, our analysis constitutes a proof-of-principle that fast fitting of theory to data is possible in the top quark sector, and paves the way for a more detailed analysis including top quark decays, detector corrections and precision observables.
