Although it is not possible to provide a theoretically sound error bar, we estimate the extrapolation error by \titou{the difference in excitation energy between the largest SCI wave function and its corresponding extrapolated value.} We believe that it provides a very safe estimate of the extrapolation error. -%Note that all the wave functions are eigenfunctions of the $\Hat{S}^2$ spin operator, as described in Ref.~\onlinecite{Applencourt_2018}. +Note that, unlike excited-state calculations where it is important to enforce that the wave functions are `eigenfunctions of the $\Hat{S}^2$ spin operator, \cite{Applencourt_2018} the present wave functions do not fulfil this property as we aim for the lowest energy of a single state. We have found the $\expval*{\Hat{S}^2}$ is, nonetheless, very close to zero. The corresponding energies are reported in Table \ref{tab:NOvsLO} as functions of the number of determinants in the variational space $N_\text{det}$. A second run has been performed with localized orbitals.
