This section starts by considering a prototypical molecular system, the water molecule, in the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set.
Figure \ref{fig:fig2} shows the error of various methods for the principal IP with respect to the CCSD(T) reference value.
Figure \ref{fig:fig3} shows the error of various methods for the principal IP with respect to the CCSD(T) reference value.
The IP at the HF level (dashed black line) is too large; this is a consequence of the missing correlation and the lack of orbital relaxation for the cation, a result that is well understood. \cite{SzaboBook,Lewis_2019}
The usual qs$GW$ scheme (dashed blue line) brings a quantitative improvement as the IP is now within \SI{0.3}{\eV} of the reference value.
Figure \ref{fig:fig2} also displays the IP at the SRG-qs$GW$ level as a function of the flow parameter (blue curve).
Figure \ref{fig:fig3} also displays the IP at the SRG-qs$GW$ level as a function of the flow parameter (blue curve).
At $s=0$, the SRG-qs$GW$ IP is equal to its HF counterpart as expected from the discussion of Sec.~\ref{sec:srggw}.
As $s$ grows, the IP reaches a plateau at an error that is significantly smaller than the HF starting point.
Furthermore, the value associated with this plateau is slightly more accurate than its qs$GW$ counterpart.

As $s$ increases, the first states that decouple from the HOMO are the 2p1h configurations because their energy difference with respect to the HOMO is larger than the ones associated with the 2h1p block.
Therefore, for small $s$, only the last term of Eq.~\eqref{eq:2nd_order_IP} is partially included, resulting in a positive correction to the IP.
As soon as $s$ is large enough to decouple the 2h1p block, the IP starts decreasing and eventually goes below the $s=0$ initial value as observed in Fig.~\ref{fig:fig2}.

In addition, the qs$GW$ and SRG-qs$GW$ methods based on a TDA screening (dubbed qs$GW^\TDA$ and SRG-qs$GW^\TDA$) are also considered in Fig.~\ref{fig:fig2}.
The TDA values are now underestimating the IP, unlike their RPA counterparts.
For both static self-energies, the TDA leads to a slight increase in the absolute error.

%For both static self-energies, the TDA leads to a slight increase in the absolute error.
Next, we investigate the flow parameter dependence of SRG-qs$GW$ for three more challenging molecular systems.
The left panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:fig3} shows the results for the lithium dimer, \ce{Li2}, which is an interesting case because, unlike in water, the HF approximation underestimates the reference IP.
The left panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:fig4} shows the results for the lithium dimer, \ce{Li2}, which is an interesting case because, unlike in water, the HF approximation underestimates the reference IP.
On the other hand, the qs$GW$ and SRG-qs$GW$ IPs are too large.
Indeed, we can see that the positive increase of the SRG-qs$GW$ IP is proportionally more important than for water.
In addition, the plateau is reached for larger values of $s$ in comparison to Fig.~\ref{fig:fig2}.
Both TDA results are worse than their RPA versions but, in this case, SRG-qs$GW^\TDA$ is more accurate than qs$GW^\TDA$.

The SRG-qs$GW$ calculations could be converged without any issue even for large $s$ values.
Once again, a plateau is attained and the corresponding value is slightly more accurate than its qs$GW$ counterpart.
Note that, for \ce{LiH} and \ce{BeO}, the TDA actually improves the accuracy compared to the RPA-based qs$GW$ schemes.
However, as we shall see in Sec.~\ref{sec:SRG_vs_Sym}, these are special cases, and, on average, the RPA polarizability performs better than its TDA version.
Also, SRG-qs$GW^\TDA$ is better than qs$GW^\TDA$ in the three cases of Fig.~\ref{fig:fig3}.
However, it is not a general rule.
Therefore, it seems that the effect of the TDA cannot be systematically predicted.

For $s=\num{5e3}$, convergence could not be attained for 11 molecules out of 50, meaning that some intruder states were included in the static correction for this value of $s$.
However, this is not a problem as the MAE of the test set is already converged for this value of $s$.

$G_0W_0$@HF mitigates the average error (\SI{0.16}{\eV} MAE) but the minimum and maximum values are not yet satisfactory.
