As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:Ew_H2}, the SGIC-eVWN5 is slightly less concave than its SGIC-VWN5 counterpart and it also improves (not by much) the excitation energy (see Fig.~\ref{fig:Om_H2}).

%Within this in-principle-exact formalism, the (weight-dependent) xc energy of the ensemble is constructed from the (weight-independent) ground-state functional.
%In the case of a homogeneous system (or equivalently within the LDA), substituting Eq.~\eqref{eq:dexcdw} into \eqref{eq:GACE} yields, in the case of a bi-ensemble, Eq.~\eqref{eq:eLDA}. \bruno{La formule me semble pas juste.

For a more qualitative picture, Table \ref{tab:BigTab_H2} reports excitation energies for various methods and basis sets.
In particular, we report the excitation energies obtained with GOK-DFT in the zero-weight limit (\ie, $\ew{} = 0$) and for the equi-ensemble (\ie, $\ew{} = 1/2$).
For comparison purposes, we also report the linear interpolation method (LIM) excitation energies, \cite{Senjean_2015,Senjean_2016}

It is also important to mention that the GIC-S functional does not alter the MOM excitation energy as the correction vanishes accordingly for $\ew{} = 1$ (\textit{vide supra}).
Finally, note that, although we had to design a system-specific, weight-dependent exchange functional to reach such accuracy, we have not used any high-level reference data (such as FCI) to tune our functional, the only requirement being the linearity of the ensemble energy (obtained with LDA exchange) between $\ew{} = 0$ and $1$.

As a final comment, let us stress again that the present protocol does not rely on high-level calculations as the sole requirement for constructing the GIC-S functional is the linearity of the ensemble energy with respect to the weight of the double excitation.
