## What it is
Wicked is a Ruby gem that turns Rails controllers into step-by-step wizard flows, acting as a RESTful-ish state machine for multi-step processes. It handles step sequencing and navigation so developers can build signup flows and multi-page forms with minimal boilerplate.

## Use cases
- build a multi-step signup wizard in rails
- split a long form into steps
- create an after-signup onboarding flow
- implement step-by-step object creation
- add a wizard progress indicator to forms
- make a restful multi-step checkout process

## When to choose
- you're on Rails and need a multi-step form or onboarding wizard
- you want a RESTful way to sequence steps across controller actions
- you need to build partial objects incrementally over several pages

## When to avoid
- you're not using Ruby on Rails
- you need a client-side JavaScript wizard with instant validation
- your flow is a single-page form that doesn't need step routing

## Facets
