What it does

Horn slope in degrees or percent, with the share of ground in six grade classes.

Like Slope (Spatial Analyst) in ArcGIS Pro and Slope (GDAL DEM) in QGIS. Run by the product's terrain engine on 30 m cells from Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (full resolution): 740 x 930 = 688,200 cells; no model was called.

It also ran in sample projects: see Slope in the samples.
