We carry out first-principles calculations on small supercells, using this information to build Wannierized effective Hamiltonians for a more realistic treatment of disorder. Despite the fact that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength is similar in In and Sb, we find that the critical concentration $x_{\\rm c}$ is much smaller in (Bi$_{1-x}$In$_{x})_2$Se$_3$ than in (Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x})_2$Se$_3$.
