Proof. Let $A_1 \to A$ and $A_2 \to A$ be morphisms of $\mathcal{C}_\Lambda $. Assume $A_2 \to A$ is surjective. According to Formal Deformation Theory, Lemma 90.16.4 it suffices to show that the functor $\mathcal{F}(A_1 \times _ A A_2) \to \mathcal{F}(A_1) \times _{\mathcal{F}(A)} \mathcal{F}(A_2)$ is an equivalence of categories.

Consider an object

of the category $\mathcal{F}(A_1) \times _{\mathcal{F}(A)} \mathcal{F}(A_2)$. Then we consider $P_1 \times _\varphi P_2$. Since $\varphi : P_1 \otimes _{A_1} A \to P_2 \otimes _{A_2} A$ is an isomorphism of graded algebras, we see that the graded pieces of $P_1 \times _\varphi P_2$ are finite projective $A_1 \times _ A A_2$-modules, see proof of Lemma 93.4.2. Thus $P_1 \times _\varphi P_2$ is an object of $\mathcal{F}(A_1 \times _ A A_2)$. This construction determines a quasi-inverse to our functor and the proof is complete. $\square$
