Fix and partition into equal intervals, with . Round upward within this interval. The corresponding sampled value isEvery time in this sum is at most . The stopping time property makes each indicator function -measurable, while the adapted process property makes each sampled value -measurable. Consequently is -measurable.
The rounded times approach from the right, so right continuity gives for the chosen pathwise càdlàg version. If path regularity is instead stated only almost surely, the usual complete filtration handles the exceptional null set; on an incomplete filtration one should formulate that case as existence of an adapted version. At , the value is simply . Thus is an adapted process, by adaptedness of a stopped right-continuous process. The argument actually needs neither the martingale property nor boundedness of .
