⁦35.3%⁩

Portfolio progress = Σ (project relative weight × actual progress). Relative weight = the project’s weight ÷ the weights of the counted projects, so they add up to 100%.

· Proposed and cancelled projects never count.
· Left out of this portfolio now: ⁦1⁩
· For comparison: weighting by budget alone gives ⁦32.8%⁩
