Excitation-based CI manages to quickly recover weak (dynamic) correlation effects, but struggles in strong (static) correlation regimes. Excitation-based CI manages to quickly recover weak (dynamic) correlation effects, but struggles in strong (static) correlation regimes.

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 $\Nbas^{2e}$.

Therefore, despite the encouraging successes of seniority-based CI methods, their unfavorable computational scaling restricts applications to very small systems. \titou{Is it therefore size-consistent?}
