In this way, the excitation degree $e$ defines the following sequence of models:
CI with single excitations (CIS), CI with single and double excitations (CISD), CI with single, double, and triple excitations (CISDT), and so on.
Excitation-based CI manages to quickly recover weak (dynamic) correlation effects, but struggles in strong (static) correlation regimes.
\titou{It also famously lacks size-consistency which explains issues at dissociations?}
Importantly, the number of determinants $\Ndet$ (which is the key parameter governing the computational cost) scales polynomially with the number of \titou{basis functions} $\Nbas$ as $\Nbas^{2e}$.
%This means that the contribution of higher excitations become progressively smaller.

However, already at the sCI0 level, $\Ndet$ scales exponentially with $\Nbas$, since excitations of all excitation degrees are included.
Therefore, despite the encouraging successes of seniority-based CI methods, their unfavorable computational scaling restricts applications to very small systems.
Besides CI, other methods that exploit the concept of seniority number have been pursued. \cite{Limacher_2013,Limacher_2014,Tecmer_2014,Boguslawski_2014a,Boguslawski_2015,Boguslawski_2014b,Boguslawski_2014c,Johnson_2017,Fecteau_2020,Johnson_2020,Henderson_2014,Stein_2014,Henderson_2015,Chen_2015,Shepherd_2016,Bytautas_2018}

Bytautas \textit{et al.}\cite{Bytautas_2015} explored a different hybrid scheme combining determinants having a maximum seniority number and those from a complete active space.
In comparison to previous approaches, our hybrid hCI scheme has two key advantages.
First, it is defined by a single parameter that unifies excitation degree and seniority number [see Eq.~\eqref{eq:h}].
Second and most importantly, each next level includes all classes of determinants sharing the same scaling with system size, as discussed before, thus preserving the polynomial cost of the method.
Second and most importantly, each next level includes all classes of determinants \titou{sharing the same scaling with system size}, as discussed before, thus preserving the polynomial cost of the method.
Each level of excitation-based CI has a hCI counterpart with the same scaling of $\Ndet$ with respect to $\Nbas$.
For example, $\Ndet = \order*{\Nbas^4}$ in both hCI2 and CISD, whereas $\Ndet = \order*{\Nbas^6}$ in hCI3 and CISDT, and so on.
