Thanks! This _almost_ works:

,----
| (defun sb/org-columns--summary-sum (values printf)
|   (org-map-entries #'sb/org-calc-confirmed-days nil 'tree)
|   (org-columns--summary-sum values printf))
|
| (setq org-columns-summary-types
|       '(("X+" . sb/org-columns--summary-sum)))
`----

Unfortunately it doesn't quite: the functions in
=org-columns-summary-types= are passed a list of values already
extracted from the properties, so my calculation of "confirmed days"
only takes effect on the _next_ call to the summary function. Is there a
hook I can use that is called before the property values are extracted?
(I wasn't able to find one.)
