Constant
Holds one fixed value (a number, a piece of text, or a date) and feeds it to anything connected to it. Use it for assumptions that rarely change, like a tax rate or a headcount cap, so they live in one visible place instead of being buried inside a calculation.
Inputs
This node takes no incoming connections. It is a starting point.
Outputs

Value | Any |
Example
Set a Constant to 0.21 for the corporate tax rate and connect it to an
Arithmetic node that multiplies pre-tax income by 1 - 0.21. When the rate
changes, you edit one node and every after-tax figure in the model follows. For
an assumption you expect to adjust often, use a Parameter or a Slider instead.
