I will discuss a project aiming to simplify high-order analytical QCD results. A magnificent N=4 SYM theory model will be used as playing/testing ground for the "innovative bookkeeping" scheme that trades the standard parton splitting functions (anomalous dimensions) for a new "evolution kernel" respecting a hidden symmetry between space- and time-like evolutions (Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity).
