Slope and relief

The interior slope of a crater is a cliff or a scarp. the exterior is a lower angle dip slope.

The relief inside the crater is Rim height plus rim depth. The relief outside is rim height only.

Both relief and slope contribute to gully formation, so no surprise that crater outer rims have no known gullies (none known to me, but I'll bet there are a few somewhere...)
