My exact question is asked and answered here:

Proving that a spectral measure is $\sigma$-additive

but I have spent all day trying to construct the $A^{'}_js$ and $B^{'}_k$s described in the answer and haven't succeeded. I know A und B must each be elements of the Borel-sigma Algebra on $\mathbb{R} \ (\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R})$) because the Borel-sigma algebra on $\mathbb{R^2}$ is the cartesian product of $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R})$ with itself, $$\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R^2}) = \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}) \times \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R})$$ and because of sigma-algebra qualities, the union over $A_i \times B_i$ must be contained in $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R^2})$, but I don't know exactly what A and B look like, and maybe that's my problem. I would really appreciate some help constructing the $A^{'}_js$ and $B^{'}_k$s.

    Ignore what's said in the answer to the post you linked to, and instead read chapter 11 on amalgamation of Berberian's notes here. It's more general in that it deals with positive-operator valued measures, not just projection-valued measures - but at least it's done carefully. – Chad K Jul 07 '23 at 14:02
