There are two cases that I handle it in this way:
1) the stalker is moving: he makes his stalking moving maneuver with whole bonus/malus mods applied: he can get 3 results: 'F', maneuver failed or maneuver succesful. Then the observer makes his perception static maneuver with whole bonus/malus mods with difficulty based on previous stalking maneuver:
Fumble = no perception required, immediatly alerted stalking failed = Easy (+20) stalking succesful = Sheer Folly (-50)
2) the character is hiding (static):
he makes his hiding static maneuver with whole bonus/malus mods applied: he get one of seven standard results from Static Maneuver Chart. Then the observer makes his perception static maneuver with whole bonus/malus mods with difficulty based on previous hiding maneuver:
Blunder = no perception required, immediatly alerted Absolute Failure = Routine (+50) Failure = Easy (+20) Partial Success = Medium (+0) Near Success = Extremely Hard (-30) Success = Sheer Folly (-50) Absolute Success = Absurd (-70)
In RMC IV there is a RR based system using observer's perception skill ranks as attack level and stalker's stalking skill ranks as defender level. Look at it too!
