contents Non-orthogonal configuration interaction (NOCI) is a generalization of the standard orthogonal configuration interaction (CI) method and offers a highly flexible framework for describing ground and excited electronic states. However, this flexibility also comes with challenges, as there is still no clear or generally accepted approach for constructing a compact and accurate state basis for NOCI. In this work, we take a step toward addressing this challenge by introducing a novel NOCI approach designed with three primary objectives: (1) ensuring the method is systematic, (2) achieving a compact NOCI expansion, and (3) treating all electronic states of interest on equal footing. The development of our approach is presented step by step, with each building block evaluated and validated through applications to simple model systems, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential.
